The [[Fifth Doctor|Doctor]], [[Nyssa]] and [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] hear a loud distress signal coming through the [[TARDIS]] console. They lock on and travel to the source.

Tegan wonders off, and looks outside the ship's large windows. They appear to be orbiting a massive black hole as explained by Hargreaves. Despite the momentary distraction, the Doctor asks Hargreaves why he launched the distress signal and Hargreaves reveals that a little while ago his crew just disappeared. They hear a scream but Hargeaves tells them to ignore it as it is an ephemeral echo, so least he claims. They go to investigate anyway. | Tegan wonders off, and looks outside the ship's large windows. They appear to be orbiting a massive black hole as explained by Hargreaves.

They arrive at the source of the noise in the botanical garden aboard the ship but they meet Hargreaves again and it turns out Hargreaves is the ship's central computer and simply takes over the robot body closest to the person requesting service, in this case the robot gardener's body. They ask him about the noise and he assures them that they are corporeal, not real. They look around and ask him about the plant life, it seems to be growing at an unrealistically unheard of rate. The Doctor and Tegan go to find something else but Nyssa notices writing on the plants. Tegan and the Doctor are off discussing the origins of the ship when they hear Nyssa scream. They run back and find she got stabbed by a plant she was trying to inspect. The Doctor worries about poison and infection and Hargreaves directs Nyssa to the medical bay to get the injury inspected and mended while they hear another scream and the Doctor and Tegan go back to investigate. | They arrive at the source of the noise in the botanical garden aboard the ship but they meet Hargreaves again and it turns out Hargreaves is the ship's central computer and simply takes over the robot body closest to the person requesting service, in this case the robot gardener's body.

Tegan awakens and asks Hargreaves where everyone is but Hargreaves explains there are no other life forms aboard except her. She also notices the TARDIS is gone. Hargreaves brings Nyssa to see Captain Maynard. She orders him to take her out of sleep stasis. The Doctor has Hargreaves give him readings of life-forms and he deduces that they seem to be further forward or backward in time almost as if Tegan was in two places at once. The Doctor notes that whenever Nyssa replied she always seemed a few seconds farther back but this means she is much farther back. The Doctor decides they need to go back in time to save her and reckons he needs to test a theory, despite Hargreaves' confusion. Tegan is encountered by a crew member who helps scrape the moss off and explains that she must be displaced in time by the time storm. | Tegan awakens and asks Hargreaves where everyone is but Hargreaves explains there are no other life forms aboard except her.

The Doctor notes that whenever Nyssa replied she always seemed a few seconds farther back but this means she is much farther back in time, something he deduces according to "[[Delahay's Inverse Cube Law]]". The Doctor decides they need to go back in time to save her and reckons he needs to test a theory, despite Hargreaves' confusion. Tegan is encountered by a crew member who helps scrape the moss off her and explains that she must be displaced in time by the time storm caused by the ergo storm. Lieutenant [[Maurizio Savinio]], as he introduces himself, explains what had happened to all the crew members and that he knows what's happening because of the time storms. | ||
Nyssa talks with Captain Maynard. She | Nyssa talks with Captain Maynard. She doesn't believe Nyssa, thinking she is accusing Dr. Akunin without any proof and places her under arrest. The Doctor and Hargreaves find writing on one of the walls but cannot translate it. They try retrace some patterns. Just then they are found by a confused Dr. Akunin. Savinio explains to Tegan that Jennings was infected by one of the plants and while she seemed fine at first, in fact, even stronger, she degraded mentally and Dr. Akunin could not find a cure. Tegan worries for Nyssa. The Doctor helps Dr. Akunin recover and he reveals he met Nyssa but apologizes because she was infected and will likely be dead and there was nothing he could do. Nyssa brings Captain Maynard to the place she escaped from but the Captain is surprised at how easily Nyssa broke free of the restraints, realizing she has become extremely strong and believes her to be working with one of the competitors, [[Henrickson Biotech]]. Nyssa tries to convince her she is not and eventually they stumble into the plant garden and find Dr. Akunin's work out in the open, including a jar with a human hand in it, labelled "Jennings", much to their horror. The Doctor shows Dr. Akunin where Tegan disappeared but they hear a violent shudder and the Doctor realizes what's coming. Tegan and Savinio head to a safe area, and he claims that her friends are dead. They come across the creature that was about to attack Tegan earlier. Maynard and Nyssa discuss and Hargreaves reveals that it has only been seven days since reboot but Nyssa realizes with how long the expeiremnts have been going on, this is impossible and it must be much, much longer, and realises that Dr. Akunin put Captain Maynard to sleep as a back-up test subject since she was also hurt by the plant fern sample they took from [[Ventrius III]]. They see that the sample has spread over the Captain's leg. The Doctor discusses his plan with Hargreaves and Dr. Akunin and explains that they need to steer the ship into the black hole to speed up time and find the TARDIS. Dr. Akunin believes the doctor is a danger to the themselves and the ship and has Hargreaves place him under arrest. Tegan and Savinio try to find a way around the creature and get to maintenance but they get into a spat as Tegan realizes that she's just a replacement for Jennings to Savinio and the creature injures Savinio. Hargreaves shows Tegan where a hidden carbon dioxide extinguisher is hidden and she uses it to repel the creature. Dr. Akunin explains to the Doctor that he will not let him destroy the ship because it would be genocide and he would end up killing an entire species. Originally the crew had brought back plant samples from Ventrius III but found that these plants do not produce seeds and would likely die out. This plant life instead requires another organism in order to feed off them, in a parasitic way. Dr. Akunin surmised that he could infect his fellow crew members but put them in stasis to keep them alive but also allow the plant to grow, which he had already done with Captain Maynard and Jennings, believing he has created a new species and proudly proclaims his scientific exploit as a crowning achievement, to the Doctor's disgust. | ||
Tegan and Savinio argue about where to go but realize they are not going anywhere in the elevator and Hargreaves reveals that they do not have the authority to use to the elevator. Savinio collapses in pain and | Tegan and Savinio argue about where to go but realize they are not going anywhere in the elevator and Hargreaves reveals that they do not have the authority to use to the elevator. Savinio collapses in pain and Tegan tries to use his eyes for a retinal scan but is not recognized as he is beginning to transform. Meanwhile, outside, a second creature attempts to get into the elevator to attack them. Nyssa tries to help Captain Maynard but she demands that she leave her as she can feel herself slipping into a bestial mental state, wanting to attack Nyssa. Nyssa obeys and runs. Dr. Akunin calls his creations [[Akunites]] and is about to use Hargreaves to permanently dispose of the Doctor when the Doctor invokes the [[Robotics|first law of robotics]], reminding Hargreaves that a robot cannot harm a human. Hargreaves deems Dr. Akunin unfit for service and relieves him of it. The Doctor then orders Hargreaves to steer the ship into the black hole, hoping to tear the time fracture wide open... | ||

Tegan and Savinio experience another time storm and Savinio believes "the Doctor fellow" that Tegan had so much faith in is not coming. Unable to hold off the plant from fully killing him, he dies. The Doctor takes Hargreaves in the form of his head with him through the newly created hole in space-time, leaving Dr. Akunin in their wake. They arrive in Tegan's time zone and with the help of this time zone's Hargreaves, try to locate her. Nyssa, with the infection getting worse and spreading, demands Hargreaves amputate her arm. The Doctor finds Tegan but she reveals that the TARDIS is not with her and he realizes the fail-safe [[Time anomaly relocation distributor|time anomaly relocation distributors]] had kicked in, explaining that they need to wait for it to arrive but there's other things they need to do in the meantime such as find a cure for Nyssa, so they set off to the garden. Nyssa realizes at the behest of Hargreaves that she can place herself in suspension to slow down the spread of infection. Tegan, Hargreaves and the Doctor are found by Dr. Akunin having gone through the hole himself and who plans to kill them but they are then discovered by an Akunite. This Akunite turns out to be the remains of Jennings and it attacks and kills Dr. Akunin as retribution for what he did to her/it while Tegan and the Doctor barely escape. Nyssa finds the transformed Captain Maynard (in Akunite form) who prepares to kill her but Nyssa orders Hargreaves to use weed killer on it, apologizes and runs off. The Doctor and Tegan feel a massive pulse from the storms occurring in the present and sending shock-waves through time. Just then, the TARDIS arrives and Tegan, Hargreaves and the Doctor get inside. He explains that Nyssa's [[time track]] will be extremely hard to find as she's been thrown back and forth and is probably several decades behind. Hargreaves suggests that they go back and put a system restore in his central processors which have not moved from their original location in the ship since the start of the mission, at every instance since the ship's arrival. The Doctor realizes Hargreaves' constant and the genius of his plan and they get to work. The plan involves going back to the start of the event and putting the crew into stasis so that they can awaken them in the present time, and Hargreaves must also send out a distress signal so the Doctor and co arrive to start the chain of events. However, the Doctor realises that by aborting the timeline they will lose Nyssa...unless, and he runs to the stasis chambers to confirm his suspicions. Before stasis, Nyssa realizes she can leave small messages on the wall with the weed killer for the Doctor but she has extremely limited time as the infection begins to take over. The Doctor in the present time finds the scrambled messages and manages to figure out that they read "Sleeping Bay Five". Nyssa, with the infection spreading, puts herself in stasis there, hoping to be found. The pod opens and Nyssa looks outside to see none other than the Doctor and Tegan standing outside and with events re-set she is no longer infected. Relieved to have found her, they head back to the TARDIS while Hargreaves completes his plans. | ||
The crew of the Aquitaine are preparing to return home after collecting plant samples from Vetrius III. Hargreaves tells them there has been a hull breach and that they must go into stasis. They do and Hargreaves waits with them for fifty three years. The stasis pods are opened and the crew finds the Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa who get them on the TARDIS and helps them escape as the Aquitaine is sucked into the black hole and destroyed. Inside the TARDIS, Hargreaves is unplugged from the controls and | The crew of the Aquitaine are preparing to return home after collecting plant samples from Vetrius III.

The stasis pods are opened and the crew finds the Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa who get them on the TARDIS and helps them escape as the Aquitaine is sucked into the black hole and destroyed. Inside the TARDIS, Hargreaves is unplugged from the controls and expresses feeling peculiar after having experienced his "death". Tegan wishes they could keep Hargreaves with them, believing it would be nice for the Doctor to have a personal attendant although the Doctor isn't fond of the idea. However, the crew explain that they will be taking Hargreaves as he is the only proof they have of the disaster that has occurred today. Additionally, the Doctor says that he's not sure he could drink that much tea. | ||
