The Doctor asks the [[Nin]] to freeze the [[Hoolox]]'s missiles before they hit the Earth while he sorts things out. He uses his [[sonic screwdriver]] to teleport to Earth and arrives in a garden shed where he finds a young boy called [[Robbie (The King of Earth)|Robbie]]. Robbie is playing with a mobile handheld device that he had found. The Doctor returns to the [[Nin]] ship with Robbie, where the boy explains he thought it was a game device, not real. But it doesn't help. The Hoolox and the [[Ssraar]] join forces but their weapons are useless against the advanced technology of the Nin. The Doctor takes the device from Robbie and calls the owner of the mobile device. The mobile belongs to [[Fliant Wormbleeder]], an intergalactic estate agent who appears as a hologram and on the Doctor's request, looks through his catalogue to find suitable homes for all three alien races. War is averted and the Doctor returns Robbie home. | The Doctor asks the [[Nin]] to freeze the [[Hoolox]]'s missiles before they hit the Earth while he sorts things out.
