Meanwhile, Martha and the Hath she healed, [[Hath Peck|Peck]], are studying the tunnels as she wonders if there is some place where she can recharge her mobile. Peck works the controls and converts the map into 3D, delighting Martha. Noting that the distance above ground is shorter than the distance through the tunnels, she plans to beat both the humans and the Hath to the Source. However, Peck informs her that it's a bad idea as the surface has low radiation levels; Martha decides that small time exposed to it wouldn't have any lasting harmful effects. | Meanwhile, Martha and the Hath she healed, [[Hath Peck|Peck]], are studying the tunnels as she wonders if there is some place where she can recharge her mobile.

The Doctor explains that it all vanished in the [[Last Great Time War]], a war ''much'' bigger than this one; he admits to [[War Doctor|killing in the war]], [[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|which he greatly regrets]]. Jenny then asks how they are different. | ||
In the meantime, the Hath have found their side of the entrance into [[the Temple]] and use a battering ram to create a shortcut. Martha and Peck reach a hatch and escape to the desolate surface while Martha berates Peck for using foul language when she says he couldn't resist seeing the surface. | In the meantime, the Hath have found their side of the entrance into [[the Temple]] and use a battering ram to create a shortcut.
