Dressed in rags, Torvald has prepared a non-[[Dimensional transcendentalism|dimensionally transcendental]] TARDIS for the journey and is told that he and Leela will be pretending to be K9 Mark I's [[slave]]s. Before the trio enter the TARDIS, Narvin secretly hands Torvald a [[translocation beamer]], telling him that he wants the Timonic Fusion Device. | Dressed in rags, Torvald has prepared a non-[[Dimensional transcendentalism|dimensionally transcendental]] TARDIS for the journey and is told that he and Leela will be pretending to be K9 Mark I's [[slave]]s.

Leela, K9 Mark I and Torvald arrive in the [[Central Marketplace of Gryben]] where Leela eats meat without having the money to pay for it. Torvald is knocked out and K9 disappears, leaving Leela to fight the trader and his friends on her own. K9 enters a tavern and demands information on Free Time, causing destruction with his gun which [[Mephistopheles Arkadian]] pays for before offering to sell his information on Free Time. Leela's fight moves into the tavern and K9 stuns the attacking vendor. Torvald holds a gun to the head of Arkadian, who claims to have met him in [[Torvald|his previous incarnation]] and wants to know why he should not shout out that the group are working for the Time Lords. | |||
Leela, K9 | Braxiatel has misgivings and is concerned about the existence of the Timonic Fusion Device, a weapon which the Temporal Powers would not be able to protect the other races from. Romana gets an update on Leela's mission from K9 Mark II before Narvin enters, his guards bringing in Arkadian who addresses Romana as [[Imperiatrix]]. He has offered Torvald his information on Free Time in return for an audience with Romana, an opportunity which he uses to protest against his [[extradition]] to the [[Monan|Monan Host world]]. She orders his extradition to be put on the fast track until he mentions the Timonic Fusion Device. | ||
Leela, K9 and Torvald arrive at the human ghetto and are allowed to pass when K9 completes a quote from ''[[Hamlet]]'', showing that they are human sympathisers. They encounter Nepenthe, who tells them that they have been followed since the Markeplace and orders K9 to be [[muzzle]]d with a [[zybenium band]] to prevent him from using his weapon or calling for help. | |||
Leela learns that the Time Lords wanted the weapon for themselves. Leela also discovers that Nepenthe's lieutenant is actually a Monan in disguise. The Monan sends a signal to his people stating the the mission has been compromised, prompting the High Monan to send troops to Gryben. | |||
Nepenthe then activates the device. In desperation, Romana goes to Gryben under the guise of being Arkadian's hostage. She offers herself in exchange for the device. She then realises that the device may be a bluff, and lets it count down to zero. The device then disarms and disappears into thin air, leaving the threat of the device still hanging despite the immediate relief. | Nepenthe then activates the device.
