[[Melanie Bush|Mel]], riding a battery-powered vehicle comparable to a skimmer, is attempting to escape a group of flying lizards. Trying to contact [[Sixth Doctor|the Doctor]] through the vehicle's communication device, Mel is only able to get a couple of garbled messages from him. The lizards are able to get a hit on the vehicle's engines, causing its battery to start dying, which enables to catch even more up to Mel. The Doctor, unable to teleport Mel back to the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]], instead teleports himself in the "skimmer" and sets off the ejector seats, which he uses as retrorockets to land them safely next to the parked TARDIS. Mel asks him if that was also part of the plan, but the Doctor says it was more luck than anything else. The two then promptly leave the dangerous world. | [[Melanie Bush|Mel]], riding a battery-powered vehicle comparable to a skimmer, is attempting to escape a group of flying lizards.

Mel says that that planet didn't live up to the picture the Doctor had painted of it, as a place with computer science and sea-side resorts. The Doctor reminds her that at least it was better than the deadly radiation they were able to avoid in the [[Lakertyan System]]. Mel points out that the Doctor still brought them to the wrong planet: They were going to [[Zastros 8]] but ended up on [[Zastros 9]], to which the Doctor replies that the TARDIS has been acting much more strange than usually of lately. As if on cue, sparks and smoke start coming up from under the console, and the Doctor tells Mel he will go below and take a look at it. Just after the Doctor has disappeared from view, a strangle sound comes from beneath the console, and Mel asks the Doctor if he is alright. But instead of the Doctor it is [[the Valeyard]] who comes back up, and he assures Mel that he is "just fine". Mel stares stunned at him, prompting him to ask if anything is wrong with her. Mel, slightly confused, says that she felt like she was having a headache for a moment, but she is alright now. Mel then addresses the Valeyard as "Doctor" and asks him where they are going now as if he had always been there. "Where indeed," asks the Valeyard, "when all of space and time is our oyster?" He then laughs in triumph. | Mel says that that planet didn't live up to the picture the Doctor had painted of it, as a place with computer science and sea-side resorts.
