''to be | In [[1997]], [[Winifred Bambera|Brigadier Bambera]] is investigating a [[cloud]] of [[gunpowder]] at the [[Thames Flood Barrier|Thames Barrier]] when a [[Tudor]] [[warship]] sails towards her [[boat]]. In the [[2010s]], a temporal breach in [[Woolwich]] has caused the wall of [[Belmarsh Prison]] to temporarily disappear and deposited several [[19th century]] [[soldier]]s to appear. [[Kate Stewart|Kate]] believes this to be the work of [[the Eleven]]. | ||
At the epicentre of the [[temporal anomaly|temporal anomalies]] at the [[Royal Arsenal]], [[Petronella Osgood|Osgood]] sees the Eleven in a [[World War I]] uniform using a [[temporal tuning device]] on [[the Arch]], which is disguised as part of a listed building. She is joined by [[Jacqui McGee|Jacqui]], who has [[Hasper]]'s [[temporal disruptor]] and turns it, creating a time fracture which sends the Eleven back in time. She tells Osgood that it was an accident and pulls her into the fracture, claiming that it is pulling her in. | |||
The Eleven meets Bambera and is put with the other people who have bled through time by [[Lauren Huff|Private Lauren Huff]]. He tells her that he came from the future and manipulates her into finding a [[map]] of the area at the military [[library]] before going back in time through the fracture. | |||
Osgood and Jacqui arrive in the future and find that the Royal Artillery has become a [[factory]] staffed with [[robot]]s. The world is at war with the [[Vulpreen]] and Jacqui insists that she and Osgood look at humanity's weapons, allegedly so that UNIT can start manufacturing them in the past to be ready. Osgood goes to a [[holo-bank]] and downloads the information to a [[holo-drive]]. A Vulpreen chained up in a [[cupboard]] tells Jacqui that [[Varliss|Lord Varliss]] gave the order to attack after an atomic bomb was detonated and tore through time. | |||
Kate and [[Josh Carter|Josh]] pass through the fracture and meet Bambera, who tells them that the Eleven came through alone. They deduce that the Eleven is intending to steal the [[nuclear bomb]] made by [[William Penney|Sir William Penney]] in an atomic site which would later be demolished and become Belmarsh Prison. Kate sends Josh back to the 2010s for the Eleven's arrival, hoping that she and Bambera will be able to trick him into going there. | |||
