On Day 43 of the [[colony ship (World Enough and Time)|colony ship]]'s journey, the ship gets stuck in a black hole. As Jorj writes down in his log, he gets blamed for the accident by [[Captain (Jorj)|the Captain]] due to having been the only man on the bridge when it happened and not reacting quickly enough — when he heard the alarms blaring, he spilled his [[coffee]] and then unthinkingly spent precious time making sure none of it got onto the [[keyboard]] instead of immediately warning officers that the alarm had gone off. | On Day 43 of the [[colony ship (World Enough and Time)|colony ship]]'s journey, the ship gets stuck in a black hole.

When [[Franq]] and an [[engineering]] team go down to [[Floor 1056]] to reverse the rear thrusters, Jorj volunteers to help but is forbidden from doing so by the Captain, who doesn't trust him. When [[life]] signs start being detected in the lower levels the next day, the Captain berates Jorj for not having even remotely checked for stowaways before they departed from [[Mondas]]. The Captain sends down another team to deal with the situation, but when the [[lift]] returns, a group of [[Cyberman|monsters in cloth masks and surgical gowns]] come out instead and abduct all human crewmembers, Captain included. Jorj is left alone. | When [[Franq]] and an [[engineering]] team go down to [[Floor 1056]] to reverse the rear thrusters, Jorj volunteers to help but is forbidden from doing so by the Captain, who doesn't trust him.

By the next day, Jorj has sent out a distress call and re-angled all the surveillance screens in the control room, but doesn't have much hope of a rescue coming before months. However, after "nipping out of the control room for five minutes", he returns to find [[the Doctor's TARDIS|a blue rescue capsule]] has materialised on the bridge. He tells the occupants who walk out of it to stay where they are and inwardly rejoices at possibly being rescued. | By the next day, Jorj has sent out a distress call and re-angled all the surveillance screens in the control room, but doesn't have much hope of a rescue coming before months.

A later, additional entry explains that since [[Bill Potts|the girl]] of the party was [[human]], the cloth mask creatures turned up, causing him to panic and accidentally shoot her. Another man who stepped out of the capsule, a "[[Twelfth Doctor|walking frown called Doctor Who]]", tries to explain the temporal mechanics of the ship's relative time-zones to Jorj, who doesn't follow and is eventually [[Venusian aikido|rendered unconscious]] by the Doctor. | A later, additional entry explains that since [[Bill Potts|the girl]] of the party was [[human]], the cloth mask creatures turned up, causing him to panic and accidentally shoot her.
