When the [[Cloister Bell]] sounds, [[Nyssa]] and [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] hurry to the [[TARDIS control room]] and are told by [[Fifth Doctor|the Doctor]] that the [[dimensional control]]s are resetting, shrinking [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] into a [[singularity]] because he agreed to an update without first landing and connecting to a power source.

The trio hire a [[shuttle]] and fly to the main settlement on Komoko, which seems to be deserted aside from [[Brennan (Friendly Fire)|Brennan]], who comes up with flimsy reasons to keep them from visiting Vellah before agreeing to provide them with a [[buggy]]. As the buggy is a two-seater, the Doctor and Nyssa set off in it whilst Tegan waits behind with Brennan, briefly seeing a woman as Brennan is making her a [[coffee]]. The Doctor and Nyssa arrive at Velar's home and, finding the the house empty and [[rock]]s on the windowsill, they exit and are held at gunpoint by [[Reno]], a [[marshal]]. | The trio hire a [[shuttle]] and fly to the main settlement on Komoko, which seems to be deserted aside from [[Brennan (Friendly Fire)|Brennan]], who comes up with flimsy reasons to keep them from visiting Vellah before agreeing to provide them with a [[buggy]].

She gives them a lift to the mine, during which the Doctor deduces that a relative of hers fought against the Batearians and notices that she has a distinctive [[Batearian bracelet]] which she claims Velar gave her. They find that the mine has collapsed and then head back to town, the Doctor and Nyssa both having noticed that the collapse was deliberate. | ||
Feigning an [[allergy]], Tegan has Brennan point her towards [[Spencer (Friendly Fire)|Dr Spencer]], who gives her a note telling her to get away when they are disturbed by Jagger. He offers to take Tegan to the Doctor and Nyssa and insists on accompanying her back to Brennan when she declines. The Doctor and Nyssa return and tell Tegan that they believe that Reno killed Velar; they are unsure as to why Reno is allowing the three of them to leave with this knowledge, leading the Doctor to deduce that [[Turner (Friendly Fire)|Turner]] has sabotaged their shuttle. He sends Nyssa and Tegan out of the emergency exit and stays on board to trigger the launch, escaping just before the explosion. | Feigning an [[allergy]], Tegan has Brennan point her towards [[Spencer (Friendly Fire)|Dr Spencer]], who gives her a note telling her to get away when they are disturbed by Jagger.
