Alone in the TARDIS, the [[Tenth Doctor]] is depressed, having no companions to talk to. He decides that instead of feeling sad, he should take some time to himself. Meditating, he picks up a distress call and arrives on a space station; however, he gets an unwelcoming committee. He attempts to talk, but is gagged and passes out. | Alone in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], the [[Tenth Doctor]] is depressed, having no companions to talk to.

The Doctor wakes up in a [[medical bay]], and introduces himself as a Time Lord, shocking the medical staff. They go on to explain that a communicative disease has been at large; simple contact and radio signals can cause infection. They explain that a member of the Counter race attempted to send a signal, and murdered a guard. The Doctor is left surprised when he learns that Counters live in the opposite direction of linear life in the timeline, and thus speak answers before the questions are asked; they've given up hope of interrogation. The Doctor meets the suspect, TX, who calls him his oldest friend. The Doctor warns against anyone going inside for 40 minutes as he will be creating a temporal paradox in order to communicate. | The Doctor wakes up in a [[medical bay]], and introduces himself as a [[Time Lord]], shocking the medical staff.

Now speaking backwards, the Doctor is successful in interrogating TX. TX explains the station will be blown up in the near future (so he tried to receive a distress signal, which is sending one in the linear timeline), and that his birth was at the hands of the security guards. The Doctor asks about the dead guard, learning that TX has actually resurrected him and thus ensured a long life (from the non-linear perspective). The Doctor presents his findings to the guards, who do not understand the Counter's correct wording that the Doctor wrote down; they decided to execute him anyway. | Now speaking backwards, the Doctor is successful in interrogating TX.
