Thara has fractured his leg. The Doctor wants to abandon the Learning Hall. Selris joins them and regrets that his actions have not effected the machine at all. The Doctor disagrees and shows that it is leaking and probably not running at full power. Vana provides the Doctor with a small sample of Beta's sulphuric acid. The Doctor is horrified to learn that Jamie is inside the Dynatrope and rushes off.

Eelek and Selris argue over leadership. Eelek blocks all of Selris' ideas and is preparing for war. He attempts to arrest Selris but all are distracted when a Kroton emerges from the Dynatrope, demanding the two high-brains (the Doctor and Zoe) be returned. Their minds are needed to produce energy to repair the drive mechanism and the Dynatrope is quickly running out of energy. The Kroton kills a Gond and says they have fifteen minutes. Eelek promises that they will comply.

The Doctor and Zoe come face to face with the Krotons. As Selris appears and gives the acid to the Doctor he is destroyed by a Kroton. The Krotons begin their take off. They have twelve minutes. Zoe suggests they should stall for time but the Doctor points out that if the machine powers down it will explode and destroy the planet. The Doctor manages to get the Krotons to explain that they need 4 brains working in tandem to power the ship. There used to be four Krotons but two got destroyed in a space battle. This forced them to land on the planet of the Gonds and go into perpetual stability whilst they train the Gomds to assist them. During this story the Doctor surreptitiously hands the acid over to Zoe. There is now nine minutes.

They fire their weapons, forcing the Doctor and Zoe to duck. When they emerge they see the Krotons are dissolving. The Dynatrope also seems to be disintegrating.
