By this point, the now uninhabited planet was the [[property]] of the [[National Trust]], who kept it preserved by using [[gravity satellite]]s to hold back the Sun while reversing the shifting [[continent]]s to a [[classic Earth]] formation. Ultimately, however, the Trust ran out of [[money]] to the Earth preserved and so, as the [[Ninth Doctor]] put it, "[[nature]] took over".

The main [[sponsor]] for the event was the [[Face of Boe]] of the [[Silver Devastation]], who invited several [[guest]]s to witness the event. As the [[Ninth Doctor]] observed, these guests were mostly [[extra-terrestrial]]s or [[multiform]]s and composed of "the great and the good" or rather "the rich", being worth "[[zillion]]s". | ||
The guests in attendance, transported via [[shuttle]]s, were the Earth [[tree]]-descended [[Forest of Cheem]], represented by [[Jabe]], [[Lute (The End of the World)|Lute]] and [[Coffa]], the [[Moxx of Balhoon]] from the [[solicitor]]s [[Jolco and Jolco]], the [[Adherents of the Repeated Meme]] from [[Financial Family Seven]], [[Hyposlip Travel System]] [[inventor]]s the [[brother]]s [[Hop Pyleen]], [[Cal MacNannovich|Cal "Spark Plug" MacNannovich]], [[Pakoo|Mr and Mrs Pakoo]], the [[Ambassadors from the City State of Binding Light]]. Lastly, a special guest called forth in memory of the dying world was the Lady Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17, the so-called "last human", ever attended by two [[surgeon]]s; the last "pure" human, Cassandra regarded the others of this time as "[[mongrel]]s". In addition, [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] landed aboard the station as the Doctor took [[Rose Tyler]], a human from [[2005]], on her first trip; using [[The Doctor's psychic paper|his psychic paper]], the Doctor passed himself off to the steward as a guest with Rose as his "[[plus one]]". | The guests in attendance, transported via [[shuttle]]s, were the Earth [[tree]]-descended [[Forest of Cheem]], represented by [[Jabe]], [[Lute (The End of the World)|Lute]] and [[Coffa]], the [[Moxx of Balhoon]] from the [[solicitor]]s [[Jolco and Jolco]], the [[Adherents of the Repeated Meme]] from [[Financial Family Seven]], [[Hyposlip Travel System]] [[inventor]]s the [[brother]]s [[Hop Pyleen]], [[Cal MacNannovich|Cal "Spark Plug" MacNannovich]], [[Pakoo|Mr and Mrs Pakoo]], the [[Ambassadors from the City State of Binding Light]].

Cassandra used [[metal spider]] [[robot]]s to sabotage Platform One's computer systems and the Adherents of the Repeated Meme, who were actually [[android]] constructs, to direct attention away from herself as the spiders sabotaged the platform's [[sun filter]]. Her original intent was to create the appearance of a hostage situation and collect [[compensation]] (with it not being apparent she was the hostage taker) to fund her cosmetic surgical procedures. | Cassandra used [[metal spider]] [[robot]]s to sabotage Platform One's computer systems and the Adherents of the Repeated Meme, who were actually [[android]] constructs, to direct attention away from herself as the spiders sabotaged the platform's [[sun filter]].

Aboard Platform One, the Doctor reversed the [[teleportation feed]], bringing Cassandra back. In the heat, and without her assistants to moisturise her, Cassandra's skin dried, stretched and exploded, apparently killing her, although her [[brain]] was not destroyed.

Following the incident at Platform One, Cassandra was retrieved by [[Chip]], a force-grown [[clone]] and her servant, who salvaged her "pretty [[blue]] [[eye]]s" from the bin before restoring Cassandra using an extra piece of [[skin]] taken from her discarded [[body]].

The [[Moxx of Balhoon]] was survived by his [[brother]], the [[Elth of Balhoon]], who sought [[revenge]] for his [[death]]. Believing that the survivors of the incident had not tried to help the Moxx and had abandoned him to die, and decided to kidnap them, using his "[[bioslave]]s" to take his revenge. The Doctor and Rose discovered his plan and rescued his prisoners. The Doctor convinced the Elth that they had done all they could to save him but it was too late. The prisoners not only forgave the Elth for kidnapping them, but they offered to help him.
