The
Doctor is behaving oddly, having
clandestine meetings with a
race known as the Vardans who
can travel via the power of
thought. Leela is concerned
- and she worries further when
she learns that K9 has been
instructed to shoot her if she
attempts to interfere.
Returning
home to Gallifrey, the Doctor
demands to take over as Lord
President of the High Council
of Time Lords. With no-one able
to dispute his claim, he is
inducted and begins a systematic
purge of Time Lord society,
expelling many high ranking
officials - and Leela - to the
wastes of Outer Gallifrey.
It seems
that the Doctor has joined forces
with the Vardans, and is helping
in their attempted conquest
of Gallifrey out of revenge
for his treatment at the hands
of previous High Councils. The
Vardans want the secrets of
time travel and with only his
old teacher, Cardinal Borusa,
at his side, the Doctor appears
to be granting them their wish.
But not everything is exactly
what it seems. The Doctor has
an agenda hidden from the Vardans
- and they in turn have a far
darker one hidden from him.
