As Rose falls through the Vortex, the Doctor tries to materialise the TARDIS around her, but only her jacket appears within. Meanwhile, Rose wakes up next to a squid-like alien. The Doctor refuses to believe she is dead, and uses the TARDIS to track the DNA from her jacket. However, the coordinates it finds would place her in the blast radius of a nascent [[supernova]] [[Beart-54]] in the [[Beart system]]. Jack materialises the TARDIS on a nearby planetoid, [[Fluren's World]]. They find the sun's nova is being held back by a [[time bubble]], technology that hasn't existed since the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]]. | As Rose falls through the Vortex, the Doctor tries to materialise the TARDIS around her, but only her jacket appears within.

There, they find Rose, who has been stuck there for four days. She fell through the Vortex, and the tachyon inhibitor protected her from the [[time wind]]s. [[Glom]], the squid alien, picked her up with his ship's [[time scoop]]s. The Doctor recognises one of Glom's weapons, and realises they're all from [[Gallifrey]]. He flips Glom's table in anger, and steps up to make an announcement. He's offering his [[Time Lord]] mind for sale, in an attempt to attract the Unon. Instead, the Lect appear. | ||

In the Vortex, desperate Jack is trying to half threaten half reason with the TARDIS. Suddenly, the Doctor's face appears on one of the screens. The Doctor explains that the Unon are bringing the TARDIS to him. The TARDIS materialises in the [[Perpetual City]], which is anchored within the Vortex itself. Jack warily steps out, gun in his hand, and receives another reprimand from the Doctor, until the latter realises that Rose is not with Jack. Arnora is pessimistic about Rose's fate, Jack tries to stay optimistic while simultaneously flirting with the mother superior, and the Doctor heads for the TARDIS to save Rose no matter what, when [[Evja]], the Grand High Seer of the Unon, who has no ordinary sight but can see through time and space, explains that Rose is not on Fluren's World any longer. She is in a forbidden sector of time. The Doctor is unimpressed but another Unon, [[Borga]], blocks his way to the TARDIS. She insists that the Doctor must remain and do the will of the mother superior, accusing him of the atrocities of the Time War. The Doctor intends to have none of this. Only the intervention of Arnora prevents further escalation. | In the Vortex, desperate Jack is trying to half threaten half reason with the TARDIS.

The war destroyed their civilisation and nearly destroyed theme species itself. But it was the aftermath of the war that was more important. The demise of both Time Lords and [[Dalek]]s created a vacuum of power that many races wanted to fill, races like [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] and [[Sontaran]]s. The Unon seers saw what was coming, so the Unon decided to prevent further chaos. They collected the detritus left over from the Time War and turned it into tools for peace, including the Perpetual City they are in. The Unon have no ambition to control time, but they prevent others from doing so. | ||
The Doctor asks if the Lect are one of those trying to cease control and learns that Borga despises them. Arnora intercedes once again before the tempers could flare. She saw in his mind the sacrifice the Doctor made for the good of the universe. She knows he's a good man. She proposes an alliance. | The Doctor asks if the Lect are one of those trying to cease control and learns that Borga despises them. Arnora intercedes once again before the tempers could flare.

As an Unon sneaks behind the Doctor to deal a fatal blow, he is preempted by Evja, who is carrying Jack on her back. She implores Arnora to listen to the Doctor because she saw their own future. Arnora disagrees. But Marleth, in a last effort before his death, manages to kill Arnora and is immediately killed by the Unon. The Doctor says that it is already too late and there is no way to disperse the energy in time.

Fortunately, the Doctor manages to save her and some of the Unon by escaping in the TARDIS. He brings them to a planet off the beaten track, with no technology and makes Evja promise to leave the universe to look after itself. | Fortunately, the Doctor manages to save her and some of the Unon by escaping in the TARDIS.
