He is quickly identified by a very confident ex-colleague of his, Alexander Truscott, who confirms to a begrudging Wilding that he is soon due to be appointed as head of the Ministry of Defence. Truscott mentions that Wilding's 'side operation' of sending British agents to space to help defend from attacks is a secret that is safe with him, but Wilding quickly shouts at him for discussing it in public, and denies it exists. Apologising, Truscott quickly takes off. | ||
On the ''Rangiroa'', the sight of the Clockwise Men advancing on the group causes everyone to panic, and Gol and her group start attacking them. However, their shots go straight through them, and a simple touch from the Clockwise Men is enough to age the attackers to death. The Doctor, having removed his handcuffs, narrowly rescues Bill from the Clockwise Men and finally convinces Gol and Jodafra that the attack is nothing to do with him. The four escape into Jodafra's golden time machine, the ''Salvation'', and it materialises next to the TARDIS so that the TARDIS can be powered up enough to break out of the entropy bubble. The Doctor and Jodafra get to work as Bill and Gol head outside to attack the Clockwise Men. However, Gol's proton cannon has no effect either, and a second Clockwise Man appears, attacking Gol and ageing her to death. When the Doctor and Jodafra finish their preparations, Jodafra reveals he was betraying the Doctor by swapping the settings to power up the ''Salvation'' instead of the TARDIS, but the Doctor shows how he swapped the settings first in anticipation. | On the ''Rangiroa'', the sight of the Clockwise Men advancing on the group causes everyone to panic, and Gol and her group start attacking them.

In the Indian Territory of [[United States of America|America]], [[1882]], [[Totika]] gets a surprise visit from a familiar face - the Marshal [[Bass Reeves]]. Being two years after [[The Parliament of Fear (comic story)|their incident]] with the [[Stikini]], she wonders why he came to visit, and he responds that he knows the feeling of being an outsider like her, and while he does not agree with what she did, he understands her anger and believes she deserves a second chance. However, they are interrupted by the sound of a [[TARDIS]] landing nearby. It is not the Doctor that emerges, though, but Kenossium, wishing to recruit Reeves for some reason. | In the Indian Territory of [[United States of America|America]], [[1882]], [[Totika]] gets a surprise visit from a familiar face - the Marshal [[Bass Reeves]].

Before he can do so, however, Bill grabs his wrist and shouts at him for not being open with her about his plans or who Fey really is, and the two walk off together. They enter a fancy office and the Doctor is immediately shouted at by a certain Miss Ghost for breaking in and taking his companion with him. As she reveals her true form as [[Annabel Lake]], the Doctor explains he needs to access a very old file from her archives. | ||
Annabel takes back the form of Miss Ghost, blindfolds the Doctor and Bill, and drives them to her secret [[Wonderland (MI6)|Wonderland]] headquarters, but the Doctor quickly has to take the wheel as their car is intercepted by an air-truck, being ridden by a defiant Fey. Annabel jumps off and begins exchanging fire with Fey, but Fey aims at the car being ridden by the Doctor and Bill instead. When Annabel attempts to punch Fey, she turns intangible. Realising she must become tangible for even a split second when shooting, Annabel kicks her and uses her [[sonic screwdriver]] to divert the air-truck into the ground, where it explodes on contact, and she barely escapes with the Doctor. However, Fey emerges from the flames, unharmed. | Annabel takes back the form of Miss Ghost, blindfolds the Doctor and Bill, and drives them to her secret [[Wonderland (MI6)|Wonderland]] headquarters, but the Doctor quickly has to take the wheel as their car is intercepted by an air-truck, being ridden by a defiant Fey.

Leading the Doctor inside the Temple, she introduces him to the Absence, the one crushing the Time Lords and capturing the other time travellers. Finally, he pulls back his hood to reveal his true identity as the Loshann boy that died with Fey, now fully matured. Fey explains that she pulled the two of them to the Dreamspace in the second before they died, and states that the Daleks sent the Morlontoa to destroy the Loshann because they knew of the sheer power that even one would have when grown up. Throwing the Doctor off a cliff, Fey says it is finally time for him to wake up. | Leading the Doctor inside the Temple, she introduces him to the Absence, the one crushing the Time Lords and capturing the other time travellers.

In the real world, the Doctor jolts awake, but reports on finding "no joy". Back at Wonderland HQ, a message comes in from Hugo Wilding. He explains that he has found Alexander Truscott as Fey's nephew and only surviving relative. | In the real world, the Doctor jolts awake, but reports on finding "no joy". Back at Wonderland HQ, a message comes in from Hugo Wilding. He explains that he has found Alexander Truscott as Fey's nephew and only surviving relative. Wilding and Truscott went to the same private college, where Truscott was the leader of the Clockwise Club. However, he had a huge vicious streak, one that caused Wilding to quit the club. This streak continued in his time in business and later politics, where he is due to become Minister of Defence. Realising the connection to the Clockwise Men, the Doctor assembles a Time Lord [[Hypercube]] to contact someone. | ||
