The Nine claimed that he would return the companions once he had the full set, but showed little concern for the [[Web of Time]] as he took companions from various points in history, such as abducting Jamie from a time long after he left the Doctor, while taking Adric from a point about half-way through his time in [[the TARDIS]]. The cells also shifted the companions slightly out of phase with real time, making it allegedly impossible for the Doctor to find them as he would be unable to track them. | ||
Each cell was secured by a reinforced [[glass]] [[wall]] and [[temporal shield]]s that would cause the prisoners to age to [[death]] if they managed to break out of the cell. The prison was also patrolled by twelve [[the Nine's drone sentry|drone sentries]] designed to shoot potential escapees with increasing levels of intensity, the first shot just being uncomfortable and each later one being ever more painful each time they shot a particular prisoner, although the Nine admitted that he didn't know what level of pain the [[weapon]]s could reach before it became fatal. | Each cell was secured by a reinforced [[glass]] [[wall]] and [[temporal shield]]s that would cause the prisoners to age to [[death]] if they managed to break out of the cell.
