* The Time Lords in the War Room mention that the [[High Council of Time Lords|High Council]] are holding an emergency session, and that they have plans of their own. This session is presumably the one depicted in ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''), in which the [[Rassilon|Lord President]] planned to use [[the Master]] to allow Gallifrey and the Time Lords to escape the time lock. | * The Time Lords in the War Room mention that the [[High Council of Time Lords|High Council]] are holding an emergency session, and that they have plans of their own.
