Plot[]
Part One[]
While flying the Tardis, Tim and Wren discuss what to do with the Doctor after the events of Five Credits a Month, whether to turn him in or not. The Doctor discovers and overhears them and threatens to throw them out of the TARDIS. Tim questions where Martin is and the Doctor lies and says he is now a ruler of one of Metebelis 14's moons (Metebelis 14 being the setting for A Good Pug Goes to War). The Doctor fails to care about his reputation as the new most wanted man in the cosmos, and shakes it off as something else to add to his many crimes. The Doctor reveals to them about his future vision, claiming he does not want to regenerate, and that the Flickerer is after Wren and a sacrifice must be made. The Doctor believes he can hear his predecessors screaming in his head trapped in his mind after death. He also hears Dynamite, who taunts him about his nearing regeneration. There is a knock at the door through the time vortex, and the Flickerer attempts to come in speaking through the speakers. He demands Wren or sacrifice himself. The Doctor refuses and flies the TARDIS away, throwing them off the Flickerer's scent and into space.

They are taken to King Brian who too questions after Martin and when Tim tells him the Doctor's lie he replies that none of the planets moons are habitable. before Tim can question the Doctor anymore the Flickerer arrives and kills Brian. the guard sees the events and allows the others to take off while he avenges the king. the Tardis flys off and crashes on the cybership from corner of the universe and the crew are sent unconcious.
