The Doctor and Jeremy have landed on [[Sedna]]. The Doctor has been here before, and recognises, to his dismay, the style of the architecture as being [[Siccati]]. He realises that the Siccati attacked their own colony world on Neptune when he visited with Sarah. | The Doctor and Jeremy have landed on [[Sedna]].

The Doctor needs to meet with the leaders of Sedna, the [[Arranger]]s, to get them to call off their attacks. He and Jeremy are informed by their guide, [[AquatiNtism]], that they must each make a work of art to present to the Arrangers if they wish an audience with them. The Doctor paints a picture, and is very proud of it, while Jeremy makes a misshapen sculpture. To the Doctor's surprise, Jeremy is chosen to appear before the Arrangers. While the Doctor attempts another work of art, Aquati takes Jeremy to see the Arrangers. | The Doctor needs to meet with the leaders of Sedna, the [[Arranger]]s, to get them to call off their attacks.

Jeremy, however, gets lost and finds himself in a cavern, in which there is a huge egg-shaped device suspended over a shaft. Jeremy realises it is a bomb and heads back to find the Doctor and tell him of his discovery. | Jeremy, however, gets lost and finds himself in a cavern, in which there is a huge egg-shaped device suspended over a shaft.

The Doctor and Jeremy are brought before the Arrangers, but only Jeremy is allowed to address them. He asks them why they are attacking their colony, and one of the Arrangers, [[TrompelOeilism]], explains. | The Doctor and Jeremy are brought before the Arrangers, but only Jeremy is allowed to address them.

The Siccati, who value art very highly, travel through the galaxy turning planets into works of art, and then leave for another world. That is what the bomb is for — to transform Sedna into a work of art. The colonists on Neptune are supposed to be doing the same thing, but they wish to stay on Neptune. Jeremy proposes a competition — each planet will create their best work of art; if Sedna wins, the Siccati on Neptune will finish their work, and if Neptune wins, the Siccati there will be allowed to stay. | The Siccati, who value art very highly, travel through the galaxy turning planets into works of art, and then leave for another world.
