Line 41: Line 41:
A [[cyborg]] known as [[Gunslinger (A Town Called Mercy)|the Gunslinger]] shoots down a probe in the middle of the desert while chasing [[Kahler-Mas]]. The cyborg tells his victim to make peace with his gods, to which Mas retorts that they are his as well. The Gunslinger says they are not his gods any more. Mas tries to pick up a piece of debris to defend himself, however the cyborg knocks it away and prevents his target from moving. Pinned to the ground by the Gunslinger, Mas is resigned to his fate and asks his executioner if he's the last of the people he's hunting down. Before opening fire, the Gunslinger replies that there is just one more: "[[Kahler-Jex|the doctor]]".

In the desert during the daytime, the Doctor, Amy and Rory examine the population number on the sign of a town called [[Mercy, Nevada|Mercy]], seeing it has 81 inhabitants; however, the sign has an initial number of 80 engraved in it, with white paint changing the number. (Resident 81 must be a recent arrival, hence they didn't have time to make a new sign.) There are several odd things about the town including a sign saying "KEEP OUT" and a strange stone and wood boundary line surrounding the town. According to a scan with the [[sonic screwdriver]], it is just what it looks like, nothing else. The trio enter the town, unaware the Gunslinger is watching them.

Walking down the street, the trio notices no-one is outside; instead, the townsfolk are inside, giving them hostile stares. Even more odd, however, is that the town is using electricity, which will not be discovered until about ten years later. Rory is not that concerned, as it's only a few years off; the Doctor jokes back at him that he said the same thing when he left his [[mobile phone]] charger behind in [[Henry VIII]]'s en suite. Because of all the odd events happening at once, the Doctor wonders if someone has been peeking at his [[Christmas]] list.
