Although Kamelion was eager to explore his own free will, he soon realised that his pre-programmed loyalty was too powerful to ignore, resulting in him falling under the control of the criminal psychopath [[Maximillian Arrestis]] while the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough investigating strange goings on at a time-travelling restaurant in the far future. However, Kamelion was able to assist the Doctor despite being officially under Arrestis's control when he was ordered to turn into something dangerous to threaten Arrestis’s enemies; Kamelion obeyed the order by transforming into a Sculti - a race that generated a bio-electric field capable of shutting down the human brain - but neglected to inform Arrestis that the same field could also shut down the energy weapons that Arrestis was using. This allowed the Doctor to gain the upper hand in the subsequent confrontation and send Arrestis - who had been rescued from the moment of his own death - back to the point in time where he’d come from. Despite the fact that he had prevented any serious damage being done, this adventure prompted Kamelion to resolve to remain inside the TARDIS from then on, his use as a weapon by Arrestis to kill someone proving to himself that he couldn't be trusted.

Kamelion subsequently spent most of his time in his room in the TARDIS, consisting of a chair with a link to the TARDIS's databanks, allowing him to 'listen' to the ship reflect on its adventures. However, after meeting the Doctor's first three incarnations ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''), Tegan tried to use Kamelion to show Turlough what the Doctor had looked like when she first met him. Unfortunately, this resulted in Kamelion overloading as he tried to access Tegan and Turlough’s subjective experiences and impressions, prompting The Doctor to provide him with a casket to shield him from data he couldn’t process properly ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Qualia (short story)|Qualia]]''). | Kamelion subsequently spent most of his time in [[Kamelion's room|his room]] in the TARDIS, consisting of a chair with a link to the TARDIS's databanks, allowing him to 'listen' to the ship reflect on its adventures.

Despite this, Kamelion did leave his room during a trip to [[the Moon]] with a Victorian lunar expedition in [[1878]], his assistance proving crucial to the resolution of the crisis. Initially confined to the TARDIS by a force field preserving an [[atmosphere]] on a lunar park that disrupted his operating systems, Kamelion later left the park and rescued the Doctor as he was dying of [[asphyxiation]] on the surface as the force field began to lose power following the death of the park's [[The Warden|Warden]]. Later, he helped the Doctor and Turlough salvage weapons from the park to use against the ruthless [[Vrall]], and posed as the spirit of the deceased [[Albert|Prince Albert]] to convince [[Victoria|Queen Victoria]] to abandon the space program.
