[[Haliard]] wins at | [[Haliard]] wins at draughts against [[Mike Ferras|Ferras]], when [[Orllensa]], their boss, returns from the cold outside the scientific base they're in. They were listening to a recording of [[Astrov|Professor Astrov]]'s instructions, but were ignoring it in favour of the game. They power up their ship, ready to leave the planet they're on ([[Cimmeria IV]]), but the base begins to shift, causing the power to fail. They begin to lose light, which is a problem, as they're on a planet with no sun. Ferras goes to get some lamps and something touches his arm- they send out a distress signal. An unknown voice whispers "embrace the darkness", and the three are attacked. The voice declares them to be safe forever. | ||
On the [[TARDIS]], [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]] picks up a temporal energy discharge from a flotilla of [[type 70]] TARDIS's. The Doctor tries to avoid them but the TARDIS becomes temperamental, and [[Charlotte Pollard|Charley]] comes to see what's happening. They end up in the [[Cimmerian System|Cimmerian system]], and Charley accesses the TARDIS data bank to find out more about it. One day, the star suddenly vanishes, but the TARDIS has taken them to a time before that. The Doctor wants to find out why the sun disappeared, so they go back to when it happened. Then, everything goes haywire. | On the [[TARDIS]], [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]] picks up a temporal energy discharge from a flotilla of [[type 70]] TARDIS's.

''to be | The Doctor decides he wants to find out why exactly the Cimmerians destroyed their sun, and talks to ROSM, convincing him to move the ship to a safe area. However, the Cimmerians stop the ship from leaving, and wake up Haliard. ROSM is still losing control of his functions, so the containment fields fail, and the Doctor and Charley go to the Cimmerian on the ship. However, it has gone, though Orrlensa and Ferras didn't notice it leaving, since they can't see. | ||
The Doctor realises that something wants to restore their eyesight, as Charley can see much better. He thinks it is the doing of the Cimmerian on the ship, but Orrlensa refuses to believe this. They spread out through the ship- Charley with Orrlensa, Ferras with the Doctor- to find the Cimmerian. Meanwhile, ROSM is contacted by Haliard, asking to let him in, but he refuses as it's too risky. Ferras tells the Doctor about their work, how they were attacked just as they were about to fire up the artificial suns using the EPUs. Orrlensa tells Charley about her string of bad luck- how, once, she had to kill a spy, and Charley tells Orrlensa that she feels at home with the Doctor. | |||
They find the Cimmerian, but Charley leaves Orrlensa. The Doctor finds ROSM severely malfunctioning, and decides to try and turn on the artificial suns. Charley finds Orrlensa singing to herself, having found the cimmerian, which gave her back her eyes. The cimmerian tells them that the Solarians will come for them now to destroy them. He is exhausted. Meanwhile, the Doctor watches Professor Astrov's introduction video, using it to fix the EPUs. Haliard tells them their life support will be shut down. | |||
Charley, Orrlensa, and the Cimmerian return, explaining what happened. The Doctor realises that the cimmerians destroy light to protect themselves, because if light is detected, the solarians will descend and hurt them. Haliard tells them to override ROSMs systems and open the airlock, but the Doctor realises that setting up the EPUs again will cause the solarians to come and destroy them all, so they can't leave. ROSM successfully rebooted it's system, and the suns are running. They detect Solarians entering the system. | |||
