([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Heavenly Paradigm (audio story)|The Heavenly Paradigm]]'') Using a [[Chameleon Arch]], he hid as a human in the far future near the [[end of the universe]]. The Master's human identity, Professor Yana, worked with a group of surviving humans on [[Malcassairo]] to build a rocket to reach "[[Utopia (Utopia)|Utopia]]", a rumoured safe haven. The [[Tenth Doctor]], [[Martha Jones]] and [[Jack Harkness]] arrived on Malcassairo and helped Yana launch the survivors in their rocket, however in the process Martha brought the Chameleon Arch to Yana's attention.

([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'') The Master met [[Lucy Saxon]], who fell in love with him. He took her on a trip in the TARDIS to the end of the universe, finding Utopia.
