As Salamander salivates at his upcoming victory, the scientists, veterans of the [[Newton Institute]], inform him that they're still decades away from building a [[TARDIS]]. Salamander scoffs at such a claim. He saw the [[Time Vortex]] and compares it to a living thing, all they need do is convince it that humanity is its natural inheritor. | As Salamander salivates at his upcoming victory, the scientists, veterans of the [[Newton Institute]], inform him that they're still decades away from building a [[TARDIS]].

Using this fortune, Salamander researched the Doctor, finding him to be trapped in the current period, and made friends in the British government to acquire personal information on the Time Lord. Ordering the final stages of his plan to be implemented, Salamander goes off to examine the neurological data that the micro machines collected on the Doctor while boldly proclaiming that now is the moment that humanity steals time from the Time Lords. | ||
As the Master laughs, the Doctor curses his only slowly returning Time Lord senses that didn't allow him to see Salamander for what he was. Smug as ever, the Master reveals he's also been tracking odd energy signals that all seem to have Salamander at the centre of them. Before they move against the time-lost criminal, the Doctor questions why his old friend is helping them. Aside from not wanting a human to steal Time Lord technology, the Master doesn't want someone else conquering Earth before him. | As the Master laughs, the Doctor curses his only slowly returning Time Lord senses that didn't allow him to see Salamander for what he was.

The Brigadier demands that the building return to the present only for the Master to comment that with two Time Lords present, there's no need for Salamander. This proves the wrong choice of words as the micro machines respond to the enraged Salamander, carrying him underground and into the wider world. | ||
Following, the group learns that they are in [[1868]] and that Salamander, after harvesting a nearby toolshed for raw materials, is headed for London. Following in a UNIT helicopter, camouflaged by one of the Master's masks, Yates tries to court Jo again before they land outside Parliament. And to enter the meeting hall, the Master reveals a secret passage he's concealed within a statue. | Following, the group learns that they are in [[1868]] and that Salamander, after harvesting a nearby toolshed for raw materials, is headed for London.
