[[Image:varos_ep1.JPG|150px|thumb|right|[[Sil]] abuses the system]]On [[Varos]], a planet in the constellation of [[Cetes]], the public torture of the rebel [[Jondar]] is taking place and being broadcast throughout the planet. [[Varosian]]s [[Arak]] and [[Etta]] watch the proceedings from their room. Arak complains that they never show anything new to watch. In addition to the lack of new programming, the two must also deal with food rationing. And that night will be a punch-in vote ordered by the [[Varosian Governor|Governor]], and voting is mandatory. | [[Image:varos_ep1.JPG|150px|thumb|right|[[Sil]] abuses the system]]On [[Varos]], a planet in the constellation of [[Cetes]], the public torture of the rebel [[Jondar]] is taking place and being broadcast throughout the planet.

Meanwhile, [[Sixth Doctor|the Doctor]] is repairing the [[TARDIS]] console. [[Perpugilliam Brown|Peri]] complains that the Doctor has caused three electrical fires, a power failure, nearly collided with a storm of asteroids, got lost in the TARDIS corridors twice, wiped the memory banks of the flight computer, jettisoned three quarters of the storage hold, and burned her "cold dinner", all since the time-travellers [[Attack of the Cybermen|left Telos]]. Minutes later, the TARDIS unexpectedly stops, stalled in the middle of deep space. And the Doctor can do nothing to fix it. | Meanwhile, [[Sixth Doctor|the Doctor]] is repairing the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] console.

[[Sil]], the [[Mentor]] representative of the [[Galatron Mining Corporation]], is negotiating with the Governor over the price of Varos’ [[Zeiton-7]] ore. Their discussion, like many others, ends in stalemate. For many years, the Galatron Mining Corporation has swindled Varos by paying far less for the ore than its market value. And to make matters worse, the [[Varosian Chief|Chief Officer]] is in league with Sil. The Governor moves on to conduct the night’s vote. He addresses the people asking for their vote on if they should hold out longer for a fair price on the ore. The Governor loses and is forced to endure [[Human Cell Disintegration Bombardment]]. The process slowly kills the target and this is the third time his recommendations have failed to pass. The guard [[Rondel]] recommends that the Governor execute [[Jondar]] to please the citizens so he can recuperate before the next vote. | [[Sil]], the [[Mentor]] representative of the [[Galatron Mining Corporation]], is negotiating with the Governor over the price of Varos’ [[Zeiton-7]] ore.
