The ship lands to the Alpha Shere and the prisoners are asked to stand aside while the Oroog is ordered to be caged and forced to work with other diggers. One of the Kromons asks where the Doctor is from. He casually answers “Gallifrey”, but that is not a coherent answer and the Kromon asks if he is from a neighboring zone. The Doctor answers that he is and he was allowed here. The Kromon then asks if the Doctor informed Immigration that he has certain skills that are useful to them, to which the Doctor answers that the Immigration services is a bit eccentric. The Kromon then decides that he can assign the Doctor to laboring duties before asking what he can do. The Doctor hesitates and answers that he has a tenant for space flight. The Kromon answers that space flight requires a long period of research to reach that possibility, so he orders the Doctor to be taken to the research facility. As for Charley, the Kromon ask questions and the Doctor answers that she’s far older than she looks. The Kromon then see that Charley is at a “breeding age” and orders her to be taken to the reproductive reserve. They then ask C’rizz, who only assume he’s a native, why he’s covered in filth. C’rizz answers that the gunship didn’t have a washing facility. The Kromon then ask C’rizz’s abilities, which are farming and cattle. C’rizz gives his name as Z’ricc, taking Charley’s advice. C’rizz is ordered to be taken to the central gardening labor force. Charley tries to object to her position, but it’s declined. The Doctor insists that he needs her as an assistant, but is still denied. | |||
The three prisoners are being guided and C’rizz explains that where he last saw L’da was in the central transport system. The Doctor asks about the lab they are being taken to and C’rizz says that it’s where they will be forced to drink the elixir which will make them think like the Kromon. The Doctor then notices that there are water fountains everywhere because the Kromon, being insect-like creatures, need water to survive. | |||
In the lab, the Kromon explain the process of the elixir that they are about to take. C’rizz volunteers to be first to spare the Doctor and Charley. C’rizz is laid on a slab and the Kromon pour the liquid down C’rizz’s throat. C’rizz’s body can’t take the liquid and starts to gag. Taking the opportunity, Charley lunges and makes a run for it along with the Doctor. The Kromon open fire, but they escape. Back at the lab, the Kromon see that C’rizz volunteered himself to create a diversion, allowing the Doctor and Charley to escape. Angered, one of the Kromon orders C’rizz to be taken to the fertilization facility where he will be disposed of | |||
In a room, the Doctor is searching for a way out while Charley is keeping an eye out. Someone is coming, but the Doctor decides to take a chance. The Doctor then discovers an exit, but whoever’s coming is near. The Doctor and Charley hide and witness C’rizz being taken somewhere. | |||
C’rizz is being led to the fertilization facility where he will be cremated alive. Meanwhile, the Doctor and Charley sneak into another room and see several fungi, so they are in a processing plant, which means this is the fertilization facility. From a distance, Charley sees C’rizz, who is about to be executed. The Doctor then thinks of an idea to use the fungi as a catapult to hurl mud at the Kromon, distracting them long enough to rescue C’rizz. Charley lands a successful hit at one of the Kromon and they open fire in retaliation and chase after them. As the Kromon leave C’rizz, the Doctor and Charley emerge and free him. One of the Kromon guards return to where they are, but Charley manages to knock it out cold and grabs its weapon. The three then decide to look around the facility and come across the lab manager’s room. They then notice that their names are on the computer monitor and the Doctor decides to hack in to their system and put false information in their data records that he, C’rizz and Charley have been given the elixir and are obeying Kromon commands. The Doctor then uses the computer to find L’da’s location and they learn that she’s been taken to level 5 of the Alpha Sphere. They also learn that L’da is part of an experiment to transform her into a hybrid capable of breeding by consuming a specialized elixir. As of now, they are on level 1 and must go up four. | |||
As they make their way up the levels, the three notice boxes being carried by freight and decide to climb on one and see where it’ll take them. It takes them into a tunnel, but Charley spots the Kromon at the end of the tunnel. Charley arms her laser gun, but the Doctor tells her that there are too many of them so they’ll try to use their wits to escape. Charley, the Doctor and C’rizz introduce themselves and lie that they got lost in their jobs. The Kromon check their records and they tell C’rizz that he is now at the correct place while the Doctor and Charley are to be at their work places. | |||
The Doctor is interviewed in the research facility and a Kromon tells him that interstellar travel is something that would benefit the Kromon such as visiting luscious planets and enslaving them. The Doctor then describes the appearance of the TARDIS, but the Kromon doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The Doctor then mentions time travel, but the Kromon doesn’t know what time travel is. Nevertheless, Kromon is impressed with the Doctor’s knowledge and decides to make him a speculative consultant for the Kromon space program. | |||
Meanwhile, C’rizz tries to adjust to the odor of laboring, but the Kromon sees that his stomach can’t adjust to the smell. They suggest that he should try another position. The Kromon are then on lunch break and C’rizz and the Doctor are assigned to serve them food. As the Kromon are busy eating on maggots, the Doctor whispers to C’rizz that Charley’s been taken to genetic research, which is where L’da was taken as well. C’rizz then reveals that he smuggled a laser gun under a food trey. The Doctor then makes up a lie that he is part of an organization that deals with space travel and reiterates that he cannot do this without his assistant, Charley. The Kromon insists that she is part of genetic research now, but the Doctor holds his ground and says that it may be possible for future space colonies. They then hear a scream and the Kromon explains that someone is being experimented on. One of the Kromon orders the Doctor to follow him to the genetics division and hope that Charley hasn’t already been experimented on. | |||
As the Doctor and a Kromon head to the genetics lab, the Doctor spots several eggs which are the result of experimentation. The Kromon escorting the Doctor is informed that Charley is now being examined if her biological function is compatible for the elixir but Charley is then ordered to be turned over to the Doctor. Meanwhile, C’rizz sneaks into the genetics facility and comes across L’da, who has been transformed into a hybrid Kromon queen. L’da sees C’rizz and is horrified at what she has become and begs him to kill her and end her misery. C’rizz obliges in distress and aims his laser gun at her. The Doctor tries to stop C’rizz, but it’s too late. C’rizz shoots and kills his once beloved. | |||
