He tells her about Charley and Robert and that they are human but show signs of having come from alien environments when he receives a video which disturbs him and the Minister. | ||
Charley talks to Robert about whether they are temporal [[refugee]]s when they both see the ruffling happen again. Meanwhile, Woking closes Embankment once again and is joined by the Minister, whom he tries to make leave. He takes her to [[Mobile Operations Control]]. | |||
Naomi is irritated by the choice of lead story and raises the possibility with Madeline about the tremor and the suicides being connected. Madeline instead tells her to focus on her interview with the [[Secretary of State for Health]].

Woking and the Minister discuss the video that they watched, that of two naked men walking out of the tube tunnels before the picture broke up.

The ruffling stops and the Rogue Viyran appears, explaining that the ruffling was him struggling to maintain molecular cohesion due to the scattering effect of the Prolixity. He says that he dispersed the pod in order to use the energy to cushion Charley and Robert's arrival and ensure their survival and that there is a threat greater than the people holding them captive and whom he is keeping at bay by holding the door closed. | |||
