''to be | The minisode is presented as an episode of a [[reality television]] series, also titled ''24 Carat'', in which hopeful investors present their business proposals and prototype products in the hopes of securing a partnership with [[24 Carat]], an organisation run by [[Melanie Bush]] which began as a humble [[carrot juice]] business, but had since expanded into a [[technology]], [[health]] and lifestyle empire which stretched right across the [[galaxy]]. | ||
The first investor to appear is [[Drinking Fountain]], former leader of the [[Blue Kang]]s and current CEO of [[Blue Kang Travel]], who attempts to get Mel to invest in [[package holiday]]s to the refurbished [[Paradise Towers]]. Mel is uneager to invest due to the tough time space travel is currently going through, and her lingering memories of the murderousness of many of Paradise Towers' robotic [[cleaner]]s. Drinking Fountain attempts to quell Mel's concerns about the latter issue by explaining that the robotic cleaners now go through rigorous safety checks, but after she admits that a number of the cleaners still possess homicidal tendencies (with a pool attendant having been killed and a decorator having vanished down the [[waste disposal unit]] within the past year), Mel immediately declines the proposal, declaring it not to be a 24 Carat business. | |||
The next investor to try their luck is a [[Visitor (24 Carat)|visitor]] from the [[Iceworld|Ice Colonies]], who presents Mel with two different products; [[Mr Melty Face Peel]], a beauty product which he claims is "guaranteed to strip away the ravages of time", and a "lifelike" ice sculpture (one of a range that he produces) that barely resembles Mel despite supposedly being based on her likeness. Mel is unimpressed by both products, and is visibly disturbed by the visitor's bizarre demeanour, causing her to decline the proposal, declaring both items not to be 24 Carat investments. | |||
[[Derek (24 Carat)|Derek]] the [[Tetrap]] fares no better, attempting to get Mel to invest in the Tetrap's [[bubble-trap bath]] through threats of liquefying her and feeding her to the Tetrap's hatchlings if she refuses. Mel is unfazed by these threats, and immediately calls for [[security]], causing Derek to flee. | |||
The final investor is a mysterious figure whose appearance is entirely concealed beneath a red cloak. When Mel asks what he has for her, he produces two [[spoon]]s from his left hand, which he proceeds to play like [[musical instrument]]s. Mel gradually begins to realise who the mysterious figure is, and he dynamically throws the cloak aside to confirm her suspicions; he is [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]], having come back to visit Mel again after many years apart. He presents Mel with a gift of a "[[holographic]] [[6 (number)|six]]-[[dimension]]al record" of their adventures together, with he and Mel then flying away together in the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] to watch one of them. | |||
