As Peri begins to adjust to life on the TARDIS, the Doctor plays a simulation game of two species evolving. Because it's using so much memory, he decides to take the game to the [[Proofrock-Mills Intelligence Museum]]. | As Peri begins to adjust to life on the TARDIS, the Doctor plays a simulation game of two species evolving, with the goal being to help them find evolutionary stability without harming the other. Unfortunately, the Doctor is unable to solve it. Because it's using so much memory, he decides to take the game to the [[Proofrock-Mills Intelligence Museum]]. He then travels forward one year to see the game in its exhibit. To his surprise, he finds that the game has been solved. Wondering how this has been achieved, the Doctor checks the visitor's book. Most of the entries are what he expected. However, the final entry is the one that surprises him. "You won't find the solution for a while. Give it a regeneration or two - The Doctor." | ||
