''to be | [[Sixth Doctor|The Doctor]] is contacted by his old friend [[Sandis-Fernis]], who tells him that his [[planet]] has been left uninhabitable by an [[asteroid]] strike and that the people of nearby [[Rusina (planet)|Rusina]] will not let his people land. The Doctor decides to travel to Rusina to persuade them otherwise, telling [[Peri Brown|Peri]] that he presumes that they are too busy with their rustic lifestyles to have paid attention to the distress calls. When they land, however, they find themselves in a bustling, high-tech [[city]]. | ||
On the way to find the authorities, Peri notices a shop called [[Peri Beauty]] and is asked by a woman for a [[photograph]] with [[Peri Pore-Reduction Serum]]. The woman uploads the photo and receives dozens of likes, but deletes it and reports Peri upon learning that she does not have a chip and contacts [[City Chip Control]]. Peri runs away, but the Doctor instead decides that they will wait so that they can speak to somebody in authority. They are immediately arrested, taken to [[Law Station 2085]] and forcibly chipped. | |||
The Doctor and Peri are released into the custody of [[Christie (Like)|Christie]], head of [[Christie Corp]], who takes them to her office. She asks Peri to be the face of [[Peri Summer]], which she refuses, and subs to her before calling a car to take her and the Doctor to [[Crompton|Governor Crompton]] per their wish. They are denied entry to the building due to them not having at least 50,000 subscribers, forcing Peri to contact Christie and accept her offer. | |||
