[[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]], [[Amy Pond|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|Rory]] inside [[the TARDIS]] are experiencing some difficulties as usual. There's a confusing alarm, which is either a distress signal or the phone ringing. The Doctor neglects to tell Amy and Rory which one it is. They finally land, the Doctor deciding it was a distress signal and appear inside some sort of space ship, with guns being pointed at them. They claim that they are there to help. [[Sam Appleseed]] introduces himself as the technical officer. He explains that they are about to be invaded. He escorts the newcomers to the Captain. | [[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]], [[Amy Pond|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|Rory]] inside [[the TARDIS]] are experiencing some difficulties as usual.

The captain is Captain [[ | The captain is Captain [[Viola Jones]] who explains that they are on the space ship ''[[Black Horizon]]'' and are trapped in the Gloriana Scattering. The Doctor deciphers that they are being invaded by the [[Empire of Eternal Victory]]. The Captain explains that the engines are somehow not working, and they are apparently being kept by a shiny cable attached to the outer casing of the ship. Deciding to help, the Doctor and Amy head with a few guards to meet the invaders, leaving Rory with the Captain. | ||
The Doctor and Amy run through the endless corridors of the Black Horizon with the guards following them. They finally reach the airlock and the Doctor has a plan. After using his [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]] to increase the melting point of the airlock door, he then finds a cupboard-like storage space, filled with junk. He orders the guards to gather as much rubbish together and place it on the ground in front of the airlock. It opens after about a minute and silhouettes of robots appear. One of them exclaims at the sight of a coffee machine. | The Doctor and Amy run through the endless corridors of the Black Horizon with the guards following them.
