Gryffen is at work trying to fix K9's memory. He finds a fragment from just before he transported here, an alien called [[Zanthus Pia]], head of the [[Galactic Peace Commission]], who orders him to leave immediately. He warns that [[Assassinate|assassinating]] him will gain his assassin nothing and others will replace him. He vows they will have peace in the Galaxy. Gryffen tells K9 he'll have to work harder if he's going to retrieve his memories. K9 assures Gryffen he's working as hard as he can as that fragment is all the memory of his own time. Starkey tells Gryffen he can't get blood out of a stone. K9 corrects him and references the rocks of [[Nebulax 4]]. Gryffen finds K9 can retrieve data but not memories. Starkey offers to take K9 for a walk to get his mind off it. As they walk, Gryffen watches them on the monitor and notes how much the surroundings have changed, a common effect for someone who hasn't gone outside in ten years. They go to a ferris wheel, which speeds up as a group of [[CCPC]]s walk in. Starkey thinks he's been found and tells K9 to save himself. K9 declines the order. Meanwhile at the mansion, as Gryffen instructs them to leave, [[Ahab|a strange man]] comes through the STM.

The CCPCs keep the worried crowd under control. [[Drake]] informs them of a dissident attack. A bomb has been attached to the speed clutch in the control centre. If they try to stop or even slow the wheel, the bomb will explode. K9 decides to help. Starkey says the place is swarming with CCPCs. K9 says it is a compulsion as he is programmed to assist humans in distress. Starkey notices a CCTV camera arriving on the scene.  Gryffen investigates the state of the man. He grabs him, telling him to stay where he can see him. Gryffen asks how he can control the portal. He says he didn't.  Gryffen decides to get him some tea.
