[[1970s]]. The [[Counter-Measures]] team gathers to investigate a series of strange robberies to heavily armed places, which seemingly present not only no trace of robbery, but also no bodies. The robberies are suspected to be the work of a new gangster, [[Kazan]], whose name seems oddly familiar to the team. But it is only when they spot [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] in one of the pictures of the case they start to remember. | [[1970s]].

The [[Counter-Measures]] team gathers to investigate a series of strange murders; the victims seem to have been mysteriously aged to death; The robberies are suspected to be the work of a new gangster, Kazan. Their meeting is interrupted by [[Ace]], who suddenly drops in saying that the Doctor sent her. Ten years later, the new meeting of the team is also interrupted by the Doctor barging in unannounced, saying that he comes for help. | ||

The Doctor sent Ace to the 1960s so that she could track down the source of the distortion in that time period, while he himself would do the same thing in the 1970s; since the Counter-Measures team operated in both, their shared memories will help the Doctor to keep track of Ace's progress. | ||
In the 1960s, thanks to a tracking device given her by the Doctor, Ace and the Counter-Measures storm across Kazan and his men robbing a bank; in the following fight, a shimmering figure he calls "Puncheon", which works for Kazan, touches some men and ages to death, thus revealing himself as the source of the murders. He also touches Ace, but since she is a [[time traveller]], it doesn't affect her. The thieves manage to escape, but the tracking device once again reveals their hideout: [[Fortress Island]]. | In the 1960s, thanks to a tracking device given her by the Doctor, Ace and the Counter-Measures storm across Kazan and his men robbing a bank; in the following fight, a shimmering figure he calls "Puncheon", which works for Kazan, touches some men and ages them to death, thus revealing himself as the source of the murders.

In the 1970s, the same tracking device leads the Doctor and the team to Kazan's penthouse. Thanks to [[Ian Gilmore]]'s memories, the Doctor is informed of what Ace discovered, and gathers that "Puncheon" must be the survivor of an [[Collision Course (audio story)|experiment]] in [[time travel]], who split him in two across time. [[Rachel Jensen]] and [[Allison Williams]] knock out the doorman of the penthouse, take hold of the security system and put Kazan and his right-hand man to sleep with gas, allowing the Doctor and Ian to enter the building and retrieve "Puncheon". | In the 1970s, the same tracking device leads the Doctor and the team to Kazan's penthouse.

In the 1970s too, the Rocket Men attack the Doctor and the team on their way back to the Tower, but they manage to elude them and reach the Tower. While the team stays behind to face the Rocket Men, the Doctor has Ian tell him where Ace was supposed to fall, and then takes off in the TARDIS together with "Puncheon". He saves Ace by using a [[gravity field]] to stop her falling, then materialises aboard Ian's plane and takes also the other "Puncheon" in the TARDIS. | In the 1970s too, the Rocket Men attack the Doctor and the team on their way back to the Tower, but they manage to elude them and reach the Tower.

Meanwhile, Ian has subdued Kazan and locked the controls of the plane so that it falls in a spot where there be no casualties; determined not to leave Kazan to die, he wears his [[jetpack]] and tries getting him to safety. Kazan, however, refuses his help, and as a result falls to his death. As the two "Puncheon" touch each other, the temporal distorsion is solved, Kazan is erased from history due to his death in the 1960s and the other Rocket Men are swept off elsewhere. | Meanwhile, Ian has subdued Kazan and locked the controls of the plane so that it falls in a spot where there will be no casualties; determined not to leave Kazan to die, he wears his [[jetpack]] and tries getting him to safety.

There only remains the enigma of "Puncheon"'s origin, but the Doctor is sure he will found out in the future. | |||
