After Jenny runs ahead to scout, the Doctor explains to Donna his previous parenting, the pain of losing the Time Lords and his family, and the fact that he is reminded of them when he sees Jenny. They come across a [[Laser|security grid]] and the Doctor shuts it off just as Cobb and his men break through the door. This gives Jenny a choice: follow her dad or shoot Cobb. She shoots a pipe to release some steam to buy time but doesn't make it back to the Doctor in time as the security beams come back on. Jenny abandons her gun and flips through the beams, astonishing the Doctor and Donna. The Doctor yells to Cobb that if the Source is a weapon, he's going to destroy it, while Cobb threatens the Doctor's life, saying one of them will die, but not himself. | After Jenny runs ahead to scout, the Doctor explains to Donna his previous parenting, the pain of losing the Time Lords and his family, and the fact that he is reminded of them when he sees Jenny.

The Doctor, Donna, and Jenny discover the Temple is the original spaceship. This puzzles him as the ship is obviously well-maintained, despite having supposedly being abandoned for years. They find a computer that says the colonisation mission commander died of Byzantine fever, causing a power vacuum between the humans and Hath. Donna stares at a digital [[clock]] on the wall and suddenly realises what the numbers are... dates; the city was built in sections outward from the spaceship and the dates (which aren't counting ''down'', but counting ''out'') mark when each section was completed. | The Doctor, Donna, and Jenny discover the Temple is the original spaceship.

Further analysis of the clock shows that the ship landed only seven days ago. The "generations" mentioned by the soldiers aren't years; they refer to the generations bred from the [[Progenation]] machines. | ||
They proceed up the stairs, finding Martha, who tells them she took the surface route. At the same time, the Hath and Cobb's forces are cutting through the doors to get inside the ship. The quartet suddenly smell flowers and race to the very top to find a garden kept alive by the Source, a terraforming device to make hostile environments habitable. The original colonists likely died a few days into the war, leaving the soldiers with inaccurate information, leaving them to speculate; this caused them to fight over nothing. | They proceed up the stairs, finding Martha, who tells them she took the surface route.
