[edit] Summary
Delicate trade negotiations for uranium are taking place on Desrault with Lady Remadu of Gallifrey accompanied by her escorts Wardog, Cobweb, Millennium and Zeitgeist (the Special Executive), as well as the Order of the Black Sun and the Sontarans. Jealous of the relationship that develops between Lady Remadu and Lord Adamath (Black Sun representative for the Rigel sector), the Sontaran uses a psy-snare on Millennium which turns her into an assassin. Millennium attacks the Black Sun leader and accelerating the body of the latter into dust. Wardog kills Millennium, but as the Sontaran prepares to leave the other two sides as enemies, he hadn’t anticipated Wardog’s sudden appearance to return the psy-snare to him personally, uniting the Gallifreyans and the Order to fight the Sontarans together.
