The [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] takes the [[Tenth Doctor|Doctor]], [[Donna Noble|Donna]] and [[Martha Jones|Martha]] to the planet [[Messaline]], where armed men working for General [[Cobb]] seize the Doctor and use his diploid cells to produce the titular character, [[Jenny]]. She is immediately an adult soldier produced to fight under Cobb against the [[Hath]], with whom humans were initially meant to live in peace in a colony, but have long been at war due to the [[Human|humans]]’ desire to recover lost divine knowledge from their goddess of | The [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] takes the [[Tenth Doctor|Doctor]], [[Donna Noble|Donna]] and [[Martha Jones|Martha]] to the planet [[Messaline]], where armed men working for General [[Cobb]] seize the Doctor and use his diploid cells to produce the titular character, [[Jenny]]. She is immediately an adult soldier produced to fight under Cobb against the [[Hath]], with whom humans were initially meant to live in peace in a colony, but have long been at war due to the [[Human|humans]]’ desire to recover lost divine knowledge from their goddess of “the [[The Source (terraforming device)| source]]”. The humans now only know how to fight and die, and respect a temple to their goddess that contains the source, which the Doctor speculates is a weapon. After Martha is kidnapped by a Hath soldier who she subsequently intends to treat for injury, the Doctor deduces a previously unknown route to the temple, which Cobb wishes to use to win the war through genocide. The Doctor, Donna and Jenny are placed in a cell, and the Doctor uses his [[Sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]] to convert Donna’s mobile phone to a [[Superphone|superphone]] to contact Martha. She is studying the tunnels on Messaline herself, working with the Hath. Donna persuades the Doctor to use a stethoscope to confirm that Jenny has two hearts, but he remains convinced that [[Time Lords]] are defined by their shared suffering. Having already called the Doctor a soldier from whom she can learn for his use of strategy to try to end the war (she called the sonic screwdriver a weapon because the Doctor intended to use it to make a difference), Jenny becomes all the more convinced that the Doctor is a soldier after hearing about his fighting. Jenny continues to be puzzled by references to Time Lords. | ||
The Hath use a battering ram to break through a barrier in the tunnels. Martha wants to reach a detected atmosphere of 80 % nitrogen, 20 % oxygen, but the Hath who kidnapped her does not until he sees it. Although there is a cold wind, they are both grateful to be on the planet’s surface. Meanwhile, Jenny has helped the Doctor and Donna to escape their cell, in which they noticed the number 16. They subsequently notice a similar sign bearing instead 14. The Doctor opens a door with the sonic screwdriver, finding a system of lasers on the other side. While Donna notices a smaller number still, conjecturing an indication of proximity to the temple, the Doctor disarms the lasers while Jenny holds off Cobb’s men wire gunfire. Jenny is subsequently forced to traverse the lasers with acrobatics after the Doctor and Donna have crossed the gap and the lasers have been reactivated. | The Hath use a battering ram to break through a barrier in the tunnels.

Martha falls and starts to sink, but is saved by the Hath accompanying her, who subsequently drowns. Jenny briefly leaves Donna and the Doctor alone. The Doctor explains to Donna his previous parenting, the pain of losing the Time Lords and his family, and the fact that he is reminded of them when he sees Jenny. The Doctor, Donna, Jenny and Martha are reunited in [[The People's Temple|the temple]], which the Doctor recognises as a fully functional spaceship, which he soon realises was the same one that brought the colonists. While the Doctor discovers that the city was built by robots, while Donna discovers the numbers are dates, and therefore the city must have been built outwards. She deduces the war, which has gone on for so many generations the people have only a legend memory, has in fact been going on for just seven days, but their method of reproduction causes their generations to be very brief (the Doctor estimates 20 a day). They next discover the source, a terraforming device. Thus, despite the belief that the source kills, it actually brings life. The Doctor, now surrounded by both armies, declares the war over and smashes the source to release its gases. Both armies lay down their weapons. | Martha falls and starts to sink, but is saved by the Hath accompanying her, who subsequently drowns. Jenny briefly leaves Donna and the Doctor alone.
