Romana delivers a speech to the scientists at the [[Ministry of Science]] and says that she plans on speaking with each of them throughout the week and, at the end, will award the Zakar Prize. Afterwards, [[Lukas (Emancipation)|Guard Commander Lukas]] tells her that, after attending preliminary presentations with [[Jeranti|Academician Jeranti]] and [[Baroc|Chief Analyst Baroc]], prodigy [[Jonias|Assistant Analyst Jonias]] will be giving her an overview of his project. Narvin expresses no interest in seeing anybody but Jonias. | Romana delivers a speech to the scientists at the [[Ministry of Science]] and says that she plans on speaking with each of them throughout the week and, at the end, will award the Zakar Prize.

Maris tells Leela that it was common knowledge that the Inner Council were having projects done in the wild, many of which involved experimenting on [[slave]]s, but that this one was the most notorious. Maris says that she had managed to avoid being sent to any such bases and that it is ironic that she is now looking for one voluntarily. | Maris tells Leela that it was common knowledge that the Inner Council were having projects done in the wild, many of which involved experimenting on [[slave]]s, but that this one was the most notorious.

Romana and Narvin watch Jonias' project overview and find that he is clumsy and nervous, but confident in his abilities. According to him, everybody's attempts to merge [[Jeranti's Simultaneity Theory]] and [[Denaloc's Multiplicity Model]] have been a waste of time and that there is a pathway through space and time which he will show them at his demonstration tomorrow. Upon entering that path, with Romana identifies as the Vortex, time travel is possible. | Romana and Narvin watch Jonias' project overview and find that he is clumsy and nervous, but confident in his abilities.

Hector directs the slaves, Leela and Maris to imagine the pathway before opening their eyes and seeing the pathway. Before the machine powers down, Maris sees the woman who has come to take them to the White Lands, but Leela saw nothing but light. Maris begs to be allowed to go with them and confesses to Leela that she has been watching her and reporting back to Narvin. | Hector directs the slaves, Leela and Maris to imagine the pathway before opening their eyes and seeing the pathway.

Romana and Narvin have Lukas bring Jonias to them. Narvin questions him about the ethics of his experiments, presenting him with the evidence that he has acquired, but Jonias denies having ever done anything wrong and that everybody had done it and that he was only following orders. | Romana and Narvin have Lukas bring Jonias to them.

When Leela asks Maris why she betrayed her, Maris says that Leela is not truly an Outsider, not having been enslaved, and brings up her friendships with Romana and Narvin. She is sure that Hector is not using these people, despite having been suspicious before, and goes to see him when Taine fetches her. Taine apologises for how he and Hector have come between Leela and Maris and, whilst he is not a believer, he assures Leela that she can trust Hector and that he has the former slaves' interests at heart. When the project is successful, he will be ready to fight to keep it from any who should try to claim it from them. | When Leela asks Maris why she betrayed her, Maris says that Leela is not truly an Outsider, not having been enslaved, and brings up her friendships with Romana and Narvin.

Jonias makes contact with Taine at the base and learns of the project's completion, angering Jonias since it was done without him. He takes remote control of the pathway, trying to shut the project down before the former slaves can leave as they are required to create the pathway. Leela and some of the former slaves appear in the Ministry and Jonias attempts to destroy the technology before Romana has Lukas restrain him. Whilst Taine takes control of the technology at the base, Hector takes control at the Ministry. The former slaves are afraid to follow the saviour into the light without Hector, who reveals that the woman is Maris' future self. Maris convinces them to go through the path with her and Hector tells Taine to join them. | Jonias makes contact with Taine at the base and learns of the project's completion, angering Jonias since it was done without him.

The pathway closes, Leela returned to the base whilst all of the former slaves bar Hector, who has died, have gone into the future. Romana has Lukas arrest Jonias for [[murder]] and Leela confronts Narvin about having Maris spy on her, but accepts that his intentions were good and thanks him. | The pathway closes, Leela returned to the base whilst all of the former slaves bar Hector, who has died, have gone into the future.

With the technology no longer capable of being used, Lord Zakar has earnt a reputation for good works without having to actually pay out. Narvin asks Romana if, knowing what she does about the pathway technology, she would have used it; she does not give an answer, saying only that she is glad that she did not have to make the decision. Lukas interrupts, informing them that Kavil wants to speak with them, and they return to the Ministry to read the decoded signal, written in [[Rassilon's Cipher]]. It says "[[Axis]]". | With the technology no longer capable of being used, Lord Zakar has earnt a reputation for good works without having to actually pay out.
