But a surge of greed (specially regarding the technology of the sonic screwdriver) makes the Sycorax run back into the ship, hoping to claim the Time Lord technology as his own. He escorts the Sycorax off the ship because he doesn’t expect the prisoners to be good company for their jailer. Instead, the Doctor implants his sonic screwdriver into the ship’s console and programs the vessel to travel to an unnamed research planet where the prisoners will be released from stasis and given an opportunity to readjust to freedom. Martha suggests selling the Sycorax off to the hunt, but the Doctor angrily admonishes her for suggesting it. (The Doctor also tells Martha that the Sycorax as a species will be one of three races to survive to the end of the universe humans are another race (foreshadowing Utopia) and the third surviving race is not identified.) He knocks the Doctor unconscious, as he intends to add the last “Lord of Time” to his collection of rare species representatives kept in stasis, one of whom the Doctor recognizes as the last survivor of the Ventrassian System, which he saw destroyed when its sun expanded.Īfter using the sonic screwdriver to destroy the Sycorax’s sword and with the help of Martha neutralizing the collector’s other weapons, the Doctor learns that this particular Sycorax is himself the last of his people, specifically the Tribe of Astrophia, which died out during the Valhalla Wars of the 41st Century. In order to keep his business going following the actual extinction of these races, he “employs” Gizou against their will to impersonate these creatures (the one he killed apparently tried to escape). The Doctor and Martha investigate only to discover that the Gizou was killed by a Sycorax hunter who specializes in selling the last survivors of extinct races to be hunted as sport. The Gizou flees but is killed soon after by a laser whip. There’s a sign saying Korova V.3 but this might be a brand of milk, and another character just refers to the place as The Milk Bar.Īs Martha dreamily digs into a chocolate shake, the Doctor challenges a Gizou shape-shifter who is playing a videogame. They arrive at a space station with what the Doctor feels is the galaxy’s best milk bar.
The Doctor decides to try one last place. It turns out that Martha is having the Doctor help her find the perfect milkshake. We see flashbacks to the two visiting a malt shop in 1958 Wisconsin (sipping from two straws stuck into a whipped-cream with cherry-topped glass), strolling together on a beach at an alien resort called Costa Del Centauri VI (sipping from two straws stuck into another glass), and then we see them at some unidentified Mayan or Aztec location on ancient earth (sipping from two straws stuck into a wooden goblet as they avoid a sword-brandishing warrior Martha is wearing an Indian headdress).
She has asked him to help her find “perfection”. Years later, the Tenth Doctor and Martha are in-between adventures. The Citadel is depicted as we see it in The Sound of Drums. A young girl is shown with some robed Time-Lords in front of the Citadel reacting in fear to something before Gallifrey explodes (we see a view of Gallifrey from space showing it with two moons). The comic begins with a brief explanation of what Time-Lords are/were and what the Time War.
