With accidental assistance from the Doctor, the Time Brain had found a good substitute for strange matter: [[Loyhargil]]. It then produced the Loyhargil and loaded it into a rocket, as strange matter could only be detonated by strange matter, or the substitute of Loyhargil. | With accidental assistance from the Doctor, the Time Brain had found a good substitute for strange matter: [[Loyhargil]].

With this "monstrosity," as the Doctor called it, the Rani would be able to change the order of creation. Returning in her [[TARDIS]] after the turmoil had subsided, she would use the Manipulator to alter the history of the [[universe]], such as helping the [[dinosaur]]s of [[Earth]] to reach their full potential, eradicating [[human]]ity in the process.
