On [[30 December]], Bruce helped transport the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Chang Lee]] to [[Walker General Hospital]] after the Doctor's gunshot injury. He also unknowingly took {{Tipple}} — in the form of a [[Deathworm Morphant]] — home with him.

One of the Master-possessed Bruce's first actions was to kill Miranda, after which he set off in pursuit of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] and the [[Eye of Harmony]] within it. After a shaky start, the Master soon mastered Bruce's body, which eventually began to decay. He also adopted Bruce's [[American]] [[accent]]. | ||

According to one account, as the Eye of Harmony tried to break him down into pure energy, the Master managed to ride the energy into a spare room, which the Doctor's TARDIS then ejected into the [[Time Vortex]] to protect the Doctor. The Master would remain stranded in the vortex in Bruce's body for so many years that he had lost count. As a result of inhabiting Bruce's body, the Master found that he now lacked the mental defences he possessed prior, and so he was susceptible to [[Kaliopi Mileska]]'s ability to read [[mind]]s.
