[edit] Summary
The Doctor gives Benny a history lesson of Gallifrey using a 3D Holo-Simulator. They watch as Magnus is attempting to drain the power from a huge sphere of Artron energy that has been brought back from the Space/Time Vortex. Magnus is strongly opposed by Theta who, when it is revealed the Artron energy is alive, takes a guards gun and breaks the drain setting the energy free. Magnus never forgives Theta who to Magnus’ anger is later commended for his actions.

[edit] Notes
- The 3D Holo-Simulation suite is a direct 'borrow' from Star Trek: The Next Generation's Holodeck. The Doctor even uses the same commands!
- Theta in this story is clearly none other than the First Doctor and the name 'Theta' is referred to as a nickname.
[edit] References
- Artron energy; primary power source of a TARDIS. In the early days of exploring the space/time vortex, a sphere of pure artron energy was discovered by the Gallifreyian Magnus. Upon draining the sphere it became apparent that the sphere was sentient with the ability to communicate. Theta intervened and the sphere was set free.
