=== Part two ===
The Doctor uses [[Third Doctor's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]] to activate and ignite a gas tap and frighten the Emerald Drashigs away with [[fire]], allowing him to escape with Lord Braye and Vanessa and fuse the controls of a [[Romalian alloy]] door behind them. He contacts and updates the centre, where K9 is charging his power cell using the park's [[catalytic fusion reactor]].
The Doctor uses [[Third Doctor's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]] to activate and ignite a gas tap and frighten the Emerald Drashigs away with [[fire]], allowing him to escape with Lord Braye and Vanessa and fuse the controls of a [[Romalian alloy]] door behind them. He contacts and updates the centre, where K9 is charging his power cell using the park's [[catalytic fusion reactor]], before pressing Lord Braye and Vanessa about the [[electro-encephalogram]] he saw in the lab; they explain that Vanessa has been connecting to the Emerald Drashigs' [[brain]]s to find a way to allow tourists to experience what they do when they hunt. Because of these experiments, she has a connection to them and can sense that they are in the teleport pad room where they find them using the device.  


He tells them to stay put and will be coming back. Trencher warns him but he says he knows. The three prepare to find a teleport pad so that the Drashigs may lose their scent.
K9 assimilates a [[map]] of the park and reaches 77% capacity. Ann has to disconnect him and hide with him, Trencher and Wayland, however, when the Emerald Drashigs arrive via the teleport pad. K9 blasts the roof with his laser to bury them in rubble and leads the group along the atmospheric distribution tunnels to the [[armoury]]. Trencher informs the Doctor of their destination using her communicator and the Doctor, having realised that the connection between Vanessa and the Emerald Drashigs goes both ways, warns her that the Drashigs will be on their way there. The Emerald Drashigs dent the tunnel from the outside to trap the group and Wayland tries to get away, but the Emerald Drashigs get through and kill him. Ann, K9 and Trencher manage to squeeze through the dent.
 
Titus is terrified of having these Drashigs on the loose. K9 downloads a map of the park into his data-banks.
 
The Doctor and Braye argue about the legitimacy of the park. Braye tries to conceal the true intentions but Vanessa reveals to the doctor that they have been trying to connect to the Drashig's brainwaves. Lord Braye relents and reveals he wants to study their brainwaves so that he can experience the same hunting instinct as them and see what it is like to be them. The Doctor berates him for idiocy and explains that as a human he is sentient and can do much better with his life than debase himself to the level of a Drashig, a creature that simply hunts and acts violently.
 
Trencher triple locks all entrances. Titus bemoans his situation. K9 has downloaded the park map. Trencher tells them that they're going to wait.
 
Vanessa explains she is hearing the Drashig's voices. Braye is excited but the Doctor is concerned. She begins to hear them and the Doctor tells her to focus on what they're thinking. She reveals that the Drashigs are hunting for them and have cut their escape route (telepad) off. The Doctor leads them somewhere else.
 
They find the emerald Drashigs circling the telepad and climbing onto them despite supposedly never having seen them before. The emerald Drashigs manage to work the teleport and teleport themselves
 
Just then the telepad near Trencher, Ann and Titus activates and they discover the emerald Drashigs coming through. Trencher tells them to hide behind a nearby table. They arrive but are disorientated from the teleport. Ann instructs K9 to blast the roof down.
 
K9 then reveals that the tunnels are still usable as escape routes and the trio prepare to escape that way.
 
The Doctor tries to teleport back to the central command hub where Ann, Trencher and Titus were but find that it has been destroyed. Vanessa and Lord Braye are confused but the Doctor explains that they are hearing their thoughts and so the Drashigs have changed pattern. Vanessa's communicator goes off and it is Trencher. Trencher explains they are in the central atmospheric distribution tunnels being guided by K9. They intend to head for the centre's armoury. The Doctor mentions he wishes Vanessa hadn't heard that, and they need to be careful as the Drashigs are coming to find them. Trencher tries to ask for an explanation but there is no time to reply.
 
Trencher, Titus and Ann are cut off by the Drashigs and try to look for another way out. Titus, in a panic, tries running in a random direction but is caught by the Drahsigs and he disappears. They find a dent and attempt to go
through it as the Drashigs close in on them.


The Doctor intends to go back to the lab to try and find a way to help the three but refuses to say why, explaining that Vanessa is leaking information unintentionally through their connected minds.
