In a [[garden]] on a [[spaceship]], [[Sixth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Peri Brown|Peri]] meet [[Safira Valtris]], who invites them to [[tea]] and explains that she has been imprisoned after her cousin the [[Emperor (Breaking Bubbles)|Emperor]], whom she herself deposed, supplanted her following ten years of rule. She is being transported from one [[prison]] to another as [[execution|executing]] her is unthinkable on account of the Emperor wanting to avoid setting a precedent for members of the imperial family being killed.

After | After Valtris uses a [[short-range teleport]] to disappear with Peri to a [[hologram|holographic]] replica of her [[library]], the Doctor convinces Laris to take him to the bridge so that he can get the [[computer]]s working again and perform an internal scan to locate his [[companion]]. He realises, upon supposedly arriving on the bridge, that Valtris has tricked them with a hologram and that they have not actually managed to leave the massive prison cell, but he manages to get to the real one where Laris detects a spaceship coming to rescue Valtris. Laris sends a call for [[military]] assistance and tracks Valtris, who is holding Peri hostage and knocks Tondra out when she arrives to get revenge for the [[bomb]]ing of her home [[planet]] in Valtris's [[war]]. | ||
' | [[Akros|General Akros]]'s ship docks and Valtris heads to the [[airlock]] with Peri, only to find that the Doctor has used holograms to trick her. Learning that the [[Imperial Flotilla]] is approaching and that there will likely be significant loss of life, Peri manages to persuade Valtris to abandon her plan and avoid the inevitable [[death]]s. Valtris sends Akros away and surrenders to Laris, who imprisons Tondra to await [[trial]] for attempted [[murder]] and is offered help against becoming the [[scapegoat]] for the day's events in return for Valtris's freedom. The Doctor and Peri head back to [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] whilst Laris thinks about the offer. | ||
