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.

He told Cole that the fact that the species was warlike and obsessed with seeking out revenge on some other species they did not even 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 had told him, Cole desperately asked the Master 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]]'') | ||
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. | 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.
