The Doctor ends up having to call for the Time Lords' help, however, to get large numbers of [[human]] soldiers, transported to [[Planet (The War Games)|a foreign time and place]] by [[War Lord|an alien race]], back to their proper time and place. The Time Lords catch the culprits, discovering that [[the War Chief|another rebellious member of the High Council]] was responsible for the aliens' time-travel abilities. The Doctor is put on trial, and sentenced to exile by three members of the High Council: Prydonian councillor [[Goth]], Arcalian councillor [[Adelphi]] and the new Prydonian [[High Chancellor]], [[Socra]], who was secretly a member of the CIA. | The Doctor ends up having to call for the Time Lords' help, however, to get large numbers of [[human]] soldiers, transported to [[Planet (The War Games)|a foreign time and place]] by [[War Lord|an alien race]], back to their proper time and place.

Socra then pressures the President, [[Pandad IV|President IV]], into sending [[Adelphi|another member of the High Council]] to Earth to warn the Doctor about [[the Master]], who is now out for revenge. The CIA continues to contact the exiled Doctor for occasional services, feeling free to do so now that the Doctor is dependent on Socra's good graces with the President for his eventual pardon. This release comes after [[Omega]] returns to the universe, out for revenge, a fact the [[Matrix Lord]]s had, for the first time in Gallifrey's history, been wholly unable to foresee.

The Doctor's [[Multi-Doctor event|first three incarnations]] foiling Omega for what appears to be the last time is the perfect excuse Socra needed to demand the Doctor's freedom from President Pandad IV. When Pandad IV demands an explanation, however, Socra is forced to reveal the existence of the CIA to him. The President chooses to keep it a secret, however, so as not to lessen the public's trust in the Presidency. | ||
[[The Rani]], by then a high-ranking member of Gallifrey's hierarchy, falls from grace when one of her experiments into accelerated growth in living beings causes some [[mouse|mice]] to grow to giant size and turn predatory. The giant mice take a chunk out of President Pandad IV (triggering a regeneration) and eat [[Pandad IV's cat|his cat]] as well as Chancellor Socra. The Rani is exiled, turning [[Renegade Time Lord|renegade]], and Pandad IV never found another cat, thus putting an end to a tradition that had started with Rassilon himself. Hurriedly, Pandad IV chooses [[Goth]] as his new High Chancellor. Thirty years later, this forces an ageing Pandad to admit to Goth that this meant his ambition of becoming Lord President could not be fulfilled, and the position would have to go to Cardinal [[Borusa]]. This leads to the embittered Goth plotting with {{Pratt}} to depose Pandad, blackmailing the CIA to allow himself this breach of tradition. | [[The Rani]], by then a high-ranking member of Gallifrey's hierarchy, falls from grace when one of her experiments into accelerated growth in living beings causes some [[mouse|mice]] to grow to giant size and turn predatory.
