You leap onto the Skyrider and Arjay makes a break for the prison entrance. The guards are not prepared and you break through. However, Anjay is shot and the Skyrider begins running out of control. You manage to take control and crash into [[F Shed]], landing in a heap of packing materials.

You manage to take control and crash into [[F Shed]], landing in a heap of packing materials. As the Skyriders outside reach you, you manage to enter the Cadillac TARDIS and connect to the controls...
 
The Doctor has perfected his projected head. He tells it to "fetch" and it floats out-of-view.
 
The Cadillac materialises in the orb of the Spacelab torus. Nearby is the Doctor's TARDIS, guarded by armed men, and a countdown with 9 seconds left. You point an automatic weapon you have stolen at the men, who lower themselves to the ground. You then see the Chief Executive on a screen, announcing that the fusion process has begun.
 
Inside the fusion room, Drax feels the air grow thicker and hotter. He asks K9 if there is any way to halt a fusion. He begins processing the question.
 
You race through the Spacelab, hunting for the anti-matter research sector K9 had mentioned. The facility is nearly abandoned as most everyone focuses on the fusion in the lower station. Eventually, you see a head turn towards you and point your gun at it. But the head is the Doctor's!
 
K9 identifies that the room is being heated via 32 cavities which emit a heated light. He uses his blaster to destroy one, and continues on to the others. As this happens, the Chief Executive orders the coils be switched on. This increases the heat substantially, and causes K9 to be immobilized by the electronic interference. Drax says this is the end, and K9 responds "Affir-" before shutting down.
 
The Doctor's projected head directs you to open a wall cabinet. You find files relating to the anti-matter experiment. The Doctor's head tries to explain further but states only "Quake" before it fades. As you walk through the empty facility, you realise Arjay was right. FERN was always a cover to produce fusion weapons for the military. That's why the base was so heavily guarded.
 
You hear footsteps approaching. By this point, you have figured out what the Doctor meant by "quake"...
 
: ''If you think that 'Quake' means that the Doctor knows an earthquake is imminent, go to 27.''
: ''If you think it means you should in some way try to engineer an earthquake, go to 26.''
