Cole eventually came upon a solution to the problem as he created a radiation suit which would keep the people of the planet alive, although they would have to wear it at all times. Cole tested his first prototype on Anvar, as he had been seriously weakened by the effects of the fallout, but he discovered that Anvar panicked upon being placed in the suit, and decided to install emotional dampeners in the suit to keep the user from trying to take it off. For his second test he used Elidh as a test subject, as she was the one he was most desperate to save. Elidh, however, discovered that Anvar had died from sickness as Cole had been more focused on saving her, and broke off their romance. | Cole eventually came upon a solution to the problem as he created a radiation suit which would keep the people of the planet alive, although they would have to wear it at all times.

Undeterred, Cole continued to make more suits and managed to convince get all of the villagers wear one, but discovered to his horror that the suits gradually turned them into robotic-like creatures, obsessed with seeking revenge on the aliens who had poisoned their planet. Eventually the robotic villages turned on him too, as they came to see him as an alien, chasing him across the countryside. Cole was eventually found down by one of his pursuers, but by chance it happened the robotised Elidh, who could dimly recognize him, and still remembering their past romance, she allowed him to escape. Cole rendezvoused with the Master, after which they left the planet. | Undeterred, Cole continued to make more suits and managed to convince get all of the villagers wear one, but discovered to his horror that the suits gradually turned them into robotic-like creatures, obsessed with seeking revenge on the aliens who had poisoned their planet.

In the TARDIS, the Master, using his Time Lord knowledge, informed Cole of the full consequences of his meddling, namely that he had created an entirely new species which was not supposed to exist in the first place. He told Cole that the fact that the species were warlike and obsessed with seeking out revenge on some other species they did even not know the true identity of would motivate them to journey into space, conquering numerous planets and annihilating many innocent lifeforms, and in the process they would do untold damage to the already weakened [[Web of Time]]. Horrified by what he had done and the implications of what the Master told him, Cole desperately asked to help him undo his mistake, telling him that he was willing to do anything he was asked of in exchange. The Master took it in stride, cryptically telling Cole not to worry, as he assured him that he would take care of it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Sky Man (audio story)|The Sky Man]]'') | |||
When Cole came to and asked why he was chained up, the Master revealed that the Paradigm was powered by temporal energy. By plucking Cole out from time and taking him with him in his TARDIS, the Master had averted Cole's original fate which was to die in the Dalek attack on Arcking, which had created a paradox. Cole's subsequent actions on the farming planet had saved the local population, at the cost of turning them into a new, aggressive race, when they were all originally meant to die from the fallout; which created not only a paradox, but a paradox powered by another paradox. The Master had in fact groomed Cole into becoming a nexus for a potent amount of temporal energy, which would be enough to power the Paradigm. The Master then prepared to sacrifice Cole to the Paradigm as his usefulness had come to an end, offering him some cold comfort by telling him that - with his erasure from existence - the race he had inadvertently created would also cease to exist. When Cole, as his last act, protested against this callous treatment, the Master coldly reminded him that he previously had agree to make "any" sacrifice in exchange for his help. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Heavenly Paradigm (audio story)|The Heavenly Paradigm]]'') | The Master took Cole to [[No. 24 Marigold Lane]], [[Stamford Bridge]] in the [[1970s]] where a [[Time Lord]] agent was keeping the [[Heavenly Paradigm]] under lock and key. When the Master and Cole found the address, they discovered a seemingly normal suburban house, but found that the neighbourhood around it were guarded by the local residents, who were all unknowingly being mind-controlled by the Time Lords into attacking any one who got to close to the house. The two of them managed to seek refuge inside the house, but they were soon confronted by a Time Lord agent, who was guarding the facility. Said agent, posing as a harmless old lady who lived in the house, offered Cole and the Master tea laced with a sedative; Cole fell for the bait and fell asleep after drinking the drugged tea, but the Master, having figured what the agent was trying to do, didn't. Before he knocked the Time Lord agent out, the Master revealed that he needed Cole unconscious for the final part of his plan, so the tea had proved rather convenient. As Cole was unconscious, the Master strapped him to the Paradigm. | ||
