The two escaped Rassilon’s custody during an attack of [[Cucurbite]]s, with the Doctor intending to leave immediately due to his fear of the war, only for Rose to be kidnapped by a primordial class vampire named [[Hugo (Monstrous Beauty)|Hugo]]. Forced to return to the Space Lords, the Doctor conspired with [[Medicus Androkan|Androkan]] to steal Rassilon's ship and go in pursuit, tracing Rose to a [[coffin ship]]. Unknown to them, Rassilon had a tracker on her ship and called for reinforcements to follow them. Aboard the Coffin Ship, the Doctor and Androkan were captured. | |||
