The Doctor, Bliss and Tamasan come across the wreckages of numerous alien [[spacecraft]] destroyed by the atmosphere before having the technology harvested. One of the ships has modified [[Dalek]] technology which seems to have been used to send a Dalek agent. They enter the [[castle]] and watch Vashko make a speech about the scientific advancements that Shonnath has bestowed upon them since coming from the stars and gives Dransino the choice of selecting volunteers to repay that debt. The crowd are eager to be chosen and the Doctor, Bliss and Tamasan too raise their hands; the Doctor and Tamasan are chosen and Vashko picks Bliss as a new [[lady-in-waiting]]. | The Doctor, Bliss and Tamasan come across the wreckages of numerous alien [[spacecraft]] destroyed by the atmosphere before having the technology harvested.

In the castle, Bliss sees the [[Great Tapestry]] showing Shonnath's arrival and how Vashko saved her, after which she provided technological advancements and began to ask for volunteers to be sent to the stars. | In the castle, Bliss sees the [[Great Tapestry]] showing Shonnath's arrival and how Vashko saved her, after which she provided technological advancements and began to ask for volunteers to be sent to the stars. Bliss dresses Vashko for entertaining guests and hears Shonnath report that their crashed escape pod has been detected and is to be salvaged. Vashko orders Bliss to accompany him and his riders. | ||
Outside of the atmosphere of Thellian, the [[Dalek Time Strategist]] receives communication from the Dalek agent on the planet below; the message says that Shonnath's experiment failed and, until it is operational, the Daleks cannot set the [[transmat]] as a destination to transport themselves. The Time Strategist orders the agent to expedite matters. | |||
The Doctor and Tamasan are introduced to Shonnath, whom they are to help build the transmat. The Doctor determines that the transmat, not having a destination, must be intended to hook into the [[Garlad]]s' already-established transmat system. Tamasan does not care, however, only wanting to find out how Shonnath survived. At the point of Dransino's gun, the Doctor is ordered to operate the transmat's controls. | |||
Vashko finds that the Argodian pod is almost entirely useless aside from a [[medical scanner]] and a device which detects other spacecraft. Whilst the riders return, he shows Bliss a [[waterfall]] which she is unable to name, outing her as a non-Thellian; when she claims to be an Argodian, Vashko asks where her two companions are. | |||
The Doctor shuts down the transmat, refusing to send a man to his death, but Dransino activates it himself and kills the volunteer. Vashko contacts Shonnath and outs the Doctor and Tamasan as off-worlders, which leads her to put the Doctor to work with the circuits whilst Tamasan is imprisoned with Bliss to ensure his cooperation. Using an antenna, Bliss fashions a skeleton key to allow her and Tamasan to escape their cell. | |||
