However, the three arrive at [[Excroth]] to find the planet destroyed, despite the fact that they should have arrived "slap bang in the middle of the [[Second Excrothian Tetrarchy]], a period of unparalleled scientific enlightenment". Almost immediately, a massive ship decloaks and captures the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] with a tractor beam; the Doctor storms out of his timeship to confront a platoon of massive robotic [[Lect]], which confine the Doctor, Rose, and Jack inside a localised force field and demand to know why the travellers have come to the [[Excroth system]]. | However, the three arrive at [[Excroth]] to find the planet destroyed, despite the fact that they should have arrived "slap bang in the middle of the [[Second Excrothian Tetrarchy]], a period of unparalleled scientific enlightenment".

The Doctor, however, uses his [[sonic screwdriver]] to activate [[Jack Harkness' vortex manipulator|Jack's vortex manipulator]] and teleport the three to the safety of a storage bay. There, Rose finds a [[tachyon inhibitor]], which, the Doctor explains, protects "its wearer from [[Causality|cause and effect]]", and the Doctor explains that "the whole system is buzzing with [[chronon]] particles". Moments later, the storage bay's [[artificial gravity]] fails as a squadron of armoured [[centaur]]-like [[Unon]] attack the ship. | The Doctor, however, uses his [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]] to activate [[Jack Harkness' vortex manipulator|Jack's vortex manipulator]] and teleport the three to the safety of a storage bay.

The Doctor attempts to lead Rose and Jack back to the TARDIS, but the three are intercepted by a group of Lect, who order the Doctor and his companions to leave the ship. Another moment later, one of the Lect is destroyed by an Unon fighter, who blasts a hole in the ship, creating a decompression leak that nearly drags Jack and Rose out into space. Rose begins to glow when the tachyon inhibitor on her wrist activates, and one of the Lect reactivates the ship's external shield, saving the two humans. The Doctor offers to help the Lect escape their damaged ship even as another of the robots is destroyed by an Unon fighter, but the Lect insist that his kind "never run from battle" before attempting to terminate the Doctor. | The Doctor attempts to lead Rose and Jack back to the TARDIS, but the three are intercepted by a group of Lect, who order the Doctor and his companions to leave the ship.
