A young native of "Sirius One Bee" named [[Rhian Salmond]] (who declares that she is DEFINETLY NOT the kind of girl to be thrown in prison) is brought to a Lebensweltian prison. While waiting to be brought to her cell, she sees a prisoner being brought into the prison in a bag. After being processed and fed (an extremely meager gruel), Rhian is brought to her cell. Unfortunately, the prisoner in the bag (who seemingly scares the guards at the prison) is also in the cell. Rhian is thrown into the cell with the prisoner, who reveals himself to be the Doctor. | A young native of "Sirius One Bee" named [[Rhian Salmond]] (who declares that she is DEFINETLY NOT the kind of girl to be thrown in prison) is brought to a Lebensweltian prison.

Shortly before the Doctor's attempt to steal the Book of the Still, he (along with [[Fitz Kreiner|Fitz]] and [[Anji Kapoor|Anji]]) arrive on Lebenswelt. Almost instantly, Anji is disgusted with the planet due to its filth. The Doctor notices an observatory tower (purposefully built to give the appearance of falling apart to thrill those who use it) and with his companions in tow, rides an elevator to its top. Once on the top, the Doctor spots the Museum of Locks (which [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]' map of Lebenswelt has highlighted) before he has an epileptic fit. Fitz and Anji are just barely able to save the Doctor from falling off the tower. Once the Doctor recovers, he reveals that he could feel a "presence" in his mind and then demands that Fitz and Anji return to the TARDIS while he stalks off with the map. | Shortly before the Doctor's attempt to steal the Book of the Still, he (along with [[Fitz Kreiner|Fitz]] and [[Anji Kapoor|Anji]]) arrive on Lebenswelt.

Shortly after the Doctor tries to break into the Library of Closed Books, he is dragged before a [[court]]. Though the Doctor tries to escape, his escape attempt is stopped by a security droid. To try to get the Doctor out of jail, Anji tries to buy him out (using a new movement that tries to deal with overcrowding in Lebensweltian prisons by letting prisoners be released if sufficient funds are raised) but discovers that the "funds" are actually certain vital organs. While meeting with Anji in prison, the Doctor reveals that he only has fragmentary memories of the break-in. | Shortly after the Doctor tries to break into the Library of Closed Books, he is dragged before a [[court]].

For a whole day, the Unnoticed's ship does nothing but sit in the skies of Lebenswelt. Despite this, riots begin due to its mere presence. The Doctor and his companions spend most of this first day trying to lift the TARDIS (which was flipped right onto its doors by the arrival of the Unnoticed's ship) back upright. After failing at this, the Doctor decides to get a better look at the ship using the observatory tower. The Doctor's observation reveals that the ship is covered in burns but is interrupted by the Mayor arriving at the tower. On noticing the Doctor, the Mayor's guards inform him that the Doctor is an escaped fugitive. The Mayor has the Doctor arrested and threatens to throw him off the tower as he believes that the Doctor is somehow responsible for the chaos. The Doctor calls the Mayor's bluff and when asked to explain himself, simply points to where three Unnoticed wearing black trenchcoats and black hats have materialized. The Doctor sends Anji to right the TARDIS back up while he negotiates with the Unnoticed. After asking for the Book of the Still, one of the Unnoticed releases an extremely diseased humanoid being from within their coat and has it sniff the Doctor. This reveals to the Unnoticed that the Doctor is a time traveller and they promptly fire at him. Instead of hitting the Doctor, their shots hit two guards (disintegrating their bodies and only leaving behind their shoes). Though seemingly angered by the deaths, the Doctor continues trying to speak with the Unnoticed. After the Unnoticed teleport a mysterious ball-shaped object onto Lebenswelt, the Doctor reveals that the Book of the Still is not on Lebenswelt anymore. As such, the Unnoticed bring out their "sniffer dog" (who backs up the Doctor's story before being tossed off the observatory tower by them) before leaving without their mysterious ball. When the Mayor asks the Doctor what the ball is, he simply says that it is "death". | For a whole day, the Unnoticed's ship does nothing but sit in the skies of Lebenswelt.

Meanwhile, Anji rallies the mob into righting the TARDIS by pretending that it is an alien ship. Though she is able to right it, she is thrown into the TARDIS' console while trying to enter it. Once she has recovered from the pain of landing directly on the TARDIS' console, Anji steps out of the TARDIS to find the Unnoticed ship missing and the mobs dispersed. Unfortunately, she also finds Gimcrack's fist flying into her face. She is taken away by Darlow to be interrogated. | Meanwhile, Anji rallies the mob into righting the TARDIS by pretending that it is an alien ship.

After convincing the Mayor not to have him taken away for "further questioning", the Doctor reveals that the bomb is an extremely powerful bomb that could destroy the entirety of Lebenswelt. While the Doctor examines it, the bomb begins to pulse with energy. Upon this happening, the Doctor throws himself from the balcony onto an elevator and begins to run down the street. Assuming that the Doctor was in league with the Unnoticed (something that Rhian vehemently disagrees with), the Mayor has his guards beat the bomb with their batons. This does little to stop the bomb. Right before the bomb explodes, the Doctor materializes his TARDIS around it. This damages the TARDIS and (when Rhian finishes banging on the doors of the TARDIS), the Doctor falls out into her arms seemingly burnt to death. | After convincing the Mayor not to have him taken away for "further questioning", the Doctor reveals that the bomb is an extremely powerful bomb that could destroy the entirety of Lebenswelt.
