[[Magnus Greel]], the Supreme [[Minister of Justice]] of the [[Supreme Alliance|Supreme Alliance of Eastern States]], is presiding over the Star Chamber in [[Peking]], [[China]].

He sentences [[Ragan Crezzen]] (Prisoner 100742) to life imprisonment in a labour camp for the attempted murder of a government official, namely [[Sa Yy Findecker|Dr Sa Yy Findecker]], whom he blames for the death of his friend Sasha. However, he is immediately placed in Findecker's time chamber for experimentation. | ||
The Doctor attempts to materialise [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] at Tegan's father's [[sheep]] farm near [[Brisbane]], [[Australia]] in [[June]] during the [[1980s]] in order to witness the sheep shearing. However, the TARDIS encounters turbulence in the [[Time Vortex]] shortly before being struck by a [[Zygma beam]], which begins to carve up its dimensions. The Doctor and Tegan remain in the TARDIS' console room while Nyssa and Turlough are transported to a frozen tundra in the [[51st century]]. However, the Doctor believes that they may have been lost in the Vortex. | The Doctor attempts to materialise [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] at Tegan's father's [[sheep]] farm near [[Brisbane]], [[Australia]] in [[June]] during the [[1980s]] in order to witness the sheep shearing.

Tegan is [[transmat]]ted to Earth Free Media's base, the Correspondence Club, which is in close orbit of [[Earth]], 250 klicks above the surface of the planet. On a television monitor, she witnesses Magnus Greel meeting with [[Ingrid Bjarnsdottir]], the Commissioner of the [[Icelandic Alliance]], in Peking. Greel introduces Bjarnsdottir to his "devoted bride-to-be": Nyssa. | Tegan is [[transmat]]ted to Earth Free Media's base, the Correspondence Club, which is in close orbit of [[Earth]], 250 klicks above the surface of the planet.

Dr | Dr Findecker, whose body is slowly decaying from [[Zygma beam|Zygma beam radiation]], attempts to hypnotise the Doctor, though his efforts are unsuccessful. His interest is piqued by not only the Doctor's alien nature but also the fact that he is aware that he has discovered the [[double nexus particle]] in spite of this information not being made public. | ||
Sasha and Ragan tell Tegan that the former discovered Nyssa and Turlough in the Brisbane Dead Zone three years earlier and that the two of them were given new identities. Tegan comments that Nyssa, who uses the alias "Nyssa Traken," has clearly done well for herself. Following an attack on Greel's air saloon on his estate, Nyssa is wounded, though Greel himself is unharmed. Fortunately, it is a merely a slight [[staser-gun]] wound to her left arm. | Sasha and Ragan tell Tegan that the former discovered Nyssa and Turlough in the Brisbane Dead Zone three years earlier and that the two of them were given new identities.

Having infiltrated Findecker's facility in the company of Tegan and Ragan, Sasha is captured by the alien scientist. The seriously ill Findecker drains her energy using his distillation chamber in order to sustain himself, killing her in the process. He plans to do the same to Tegan. | Having infiltrated Findecker's facility in the company of Tegan and Ragan, Sasha is captured by the alien scientist.

Before Findecker can begin the process on Tegan, the Doctor has the mutated troll destroy the chamber. However, Findecker steals the TARDIS and activates the self-destruct mechanism, though the Doctor, Tegan, Ragan and Chops are able to transmat to the Correspondence Club. | Before Findecker can begin the process on Tegan, the Doctor has the mutated troll destroy the chamber.

The Doctor, Tegan, Turlough and Chops incapacitate Findecker while he is preparing to send Ragan back in time to the Brisbane Dead Zone three years earlier. Consequently, their actions have seemingly altered the course of history, though Ragan still becomes a dessicated husk in spite of remaining in his own time. | The Doctor, Tegan, Turlough and Chops incapacitate Findecker while he is preparing to send Ragan back in time to the Brisbane Dead Zone three years earlier.
