The Doctor and [[Sheena (The Starship of Theseus)|Emma]] budge up so that [[Quarren Maguire|Quarren]] and [[Rupa Maguire]], a married couple on a budget holiday, can enjoy the view as well. The ''Theseus'' takes off and jumps into [[hyperdrive]], raising shields to protect the minds of those aboard from being driven mad by the sight of [[hyperspace]]. The two pairs part ways, with Rupa suggesting that they might all have [[dinner]] together tonight. The Doctor took notice that the man taken to the Captain had not been escorted off of the ship before take-off and goes to investigate with Emma, heading to the crew quarters seven decks down and gaining access by convincing [[Jefferson (The Starship of Theseus)|Jefferson]] that they are [[escapology|escapologists]] in the [[cabaret]]. | The Doctor and [[Sheena (The Starship of Theseus)|Emma]] budge up so that [[Quarren Maguire|Quarren]] and [[Rupa Maguire]], a married couple on a budget holiday, can enjoy the view as well.

Overheard by the Doctor and [[Sheena (The Starship of Theseus)|Louise]], Captain Darvor argues with Purser Lunney about how they are asking for trouble by selecting people with relatives as prize winners. Purser Lunney says that precautions are taken but that no system is infallible. The Doctor and Louise reach the [[engine]]s and hear the man calling for help; they find him inside an [[energy transfer unit]] ready to absorb his [[life force]] and learn that his name is Koloth. The Doctor bluntly tells him that his sister was most likely killed by the device and the three of them run in the direction of the TARDIS. | Overheard by the Doctor and [[Sheena (The Starship of Theseus)|Louise]], Captain Darvor argues with Purser Lunney about how they are asking for trouble by selecting people with relatives as prize winners.

The Doctor calls his [[companion]] Emma and Sheena but, with some hesitation, she says that her name is Louise. The Doctor realises that he cannot remember where he and Louise met or how long they have been travelling together, but Louise says that it is more important to find the man that they came in search for. The Doctor is confused, thinking that they had already done so. They hear Koloth shouting for help and watch as Captain Darvor and Purser Lunney tell him that they are sacrificing him in payment of the toll for using this route through hyperspace; as a troll comes to devour Koloth, the Doctor and Louise emerge and try to force the Captain and the Purser to save him. They are unsuccessful and, marked as the next sacrifices, flee. | The Doctor calls his [[companion]] Emma and Sheena but, with some hesitation, she says that her name is Louise.
