The [[Second Doctor]] pilots the TARDIS as [[Jamie McCrimmon]] laments over the absence of their friend [[Victoria Waterfield]]. The Doctor reminds him that she's off studying graphology at the time. Wondering where they're going, Jamie is informed by the Doctor that the [[Time Lord]]s are sending them on a mission to [[Space Station Camera]] in the [[Third Zone]]; they've also installed a teleport control on the TARDIS that grants them dual control. Showing the image of their destination to Jamie, the Doctor hears him compare its size to twenty castles. The Doctor explains to Jamie that the station is a research facility and they are here to have a discreet word with [[Dastari]], the Head of Projects. The TARDIS materialises in the station kitchen, where they meet [[Shockeye]], the station cook. | The [[Second Doctor]] pilots [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] as [[Jamie McCrimmon]] laments over the absence of their friend [[Victoria Waterfield]].

Shockeye is an [[Androgum]], a member of a primitive, emotionally and ethically bestial humanoid race who make up the station's workforce. He is confrontational, angry that a ship has been landed in his kitchen, until the Doctor reveals he is a Time Lord. Suddenly deferential, Shockeye eyes Jamie hungrily and offers to buy him from the Doctor as the main ingredient for a meal. The Doctor, shocked, refuses. He takes Jamie away to see Dastari. As they leave, however, they hear the sound of the TARDIS dematerialising. This is observed by [[Chessene]], an Androgum technologically augmented to mega-genius levels; her appearance has changed because of such - she looks like an attractive human woman. Chessene has plans of her own. They involve someone named [[Stike]], who will be arriving soon, once Shockeye's poisoned meal for the scientists takes effect. She has also taken possession of the [[Kartz-Reimer module]]. | |||
The Doctor speaks to Dastari in his office. He explains the Time Lords want [[Kartz]]' and [[Reimer]]'s time experiments ended, as, if the wrong people had access to time travel, it would spell disaster for the entire universe. The Time Lords have an [[non-interference policy|official policy of neutrality]], which prevents them from getting directly involved. Because of such, they've sent the Doctor, who has been exiled from their world, to maintain deniability of ever being involved. Dastari introduces Chessene. The Doctor is sceptical that augmentation can change her Androgum nature. He considers such tampering dangerous. | The Doctor speaks to Dastari in his office.
