The Master's agents sought to capture Martha. Miss Beecham used cloning technology leftover from [[UNIT]] and [[Torchwood]] to make hundreds of clones of Martha's mother, [[Francine Jones]], whcih she sent to reported sightings of Martha. The clones were unaware they were fakes and had false memories of escaping the ''Valiant''. Beecham also became aware of a lightning strike in [[South Africa]] that had brought down a Toclafane, using that knowledge to devise a way to torture Toclafane. She used this to force an army of Toclafane to serve her, ultimately hoping to usurp the Master. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Deceived (audio story)|Deceived]]'') | The Master's agents sought to capture Martha.

Martha travelled to the [[United States of America]]. Reaching a diner, reputed to be the last diner, she told stories to the slaves who gathered there in secret at night. There she was reunited with an old friend, [[Holly (The Last Diner)|Holly]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Last Diner (audio story)|The Last Diner]]'') and one of Beecham's clones of her mother. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Deceived (audio story)|Deceived]]'') Her presence attracted a lot of slaves to the diner, resulting in tragedy when the Toclafane bombed it, leaving Holly the only survivor. Martha continued her travels with her mother and Holly, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Last Diner (audio story)|The Last Diner]]'') reaching [[the Hope (Silver Medal)|the Hope]], the largest resistance group in America, in [[Nevada]]. The group believed they were in contact with aliens seeking to help their cause, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Silver Medal (audio story)|Silver Medal]]'') however this was actually a trick used by Miss Beecham to lure rebel groups. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Deceived (audio story)|Deceived]]'') Martha was uncomfortable with the competition system the Hope operated under and told a story about visiting a mine in the area a century ago to make a point. When their camouflage was exposed the Hope chose to abandon a planned assault on a Toclafane base, to their leader [[Jessie]]'s disappointment, and fled to the mine Martha had told them about. Beecham subsequently cornered Jessie and revealed the planned attack had been a lure, having Toclafane kill Jessie.

Unaware Holly had been secretly replaced by the Master's agent Mr [[Strand]], wearing a hologram disguise, whilst in Nevada, Martha travelled on to [[Las Vegas]], taking sometime to relax in an abandoned hotel. She was located by Beecham who sent in Toclafane to hunt her down, telling them to attack her rival Strand as well. Beecham found Martha herself, bypassing her perception filter with her certainty she was there, and revealed the true identity of the clone, who she killed. Beecham subsequently interrogated Martha whilst she was chained to a roof, wanring to know if rumours about her being able to kill the Master were true. Holly, who had been held at Beecham's facility, escaped and contacted the Hope to come to Martha's aid. They found Strand and let him make a call as he was dying, which he used to inform the Master of Beecham's treachery. Martha managed to hide by dangling over the side of the roof as the Master's forces arrived to destroy Beecham's Toclafane, teleporting Beecham herself aboard the ''Valiant'' where she was executed. Holly rescued Martha from the roof and together they resolved to continue her travels, having found Beecham's data on the lightning strike.
