After failing to rescue [[Omega]] from the [[black hole]] he was trapped in, [[Savar]] was forced to leave his damaged [[TARDIS]] in an escape pod.

An [[Ood]]'s eye colour changed with the level of telepathic activity, normally glowing bright-red but turning to white when not connected to a [[hive mind]].
