''to | [[Romana I|Romana]] is in the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] wardrobe room. She has just met the TARDIS wardrobe mistress, Iraj, who she learns is a shape shifter. Iraj wants to play a joke on the Doctor. | ||
Romana has no patience for this right now. She can feel that a [[regeneration]] is near. Although most [[Time Lord]] regenerations occur when the Time Lord body is damaged beyond repair, sometimes subtle damages build up. Romana thinks this is what happened to her, with the [[chronodyne]]'s influence starting the process. | |||
Iraj takes the form of Princess [[Astra of Atrios|Astra]], to Romana’s horror. Iraj goes to the [[control room]] to see the Doctor. She comes back to complain to Romana that he barely noticed her. She tries three more forms; when Romana loses patience with her, she freezes Romana in place. She then joins the Doctor in Astra's form, wearing an outfit in the same style as the Doctor's. | |||
Romana, frozen in place, is unable to tell how much time has passed. Iraj finally returns to tell Romana about an adventure she and the Doctor had with [[Davros]] and the [[Dalek]]s. She again grumbles that the Doctor barely noticed her. Romana finally realises that Iraj is a manifestation of the TARDIS. She manages to convince Iraj that the Doctor cares for her. Iraj apologises, and offers to help Romana through her regeneration. | |||
When Romana finally regenerates, she is shocked to discover herself in Astra's form. | |||
