Line 4: {{quote\|One good solid hope's worth a cart-load of certainties.\|'''The Doctor'''}} The Doctor, Romana, K-9 and Adric are still stuck in [[Doctor Who/Recap/S18 E3/E03 Full Circle\|E-Space]]. While they're trying to figure out a way back into N-Space (our universe), the TARDIS is hijacked by a lion-headed [[Humanoid Alien]] that walks in through the TARDIS doors ''while the TARDIS is still in flight''. The alien brings the TARDIS to land, announces that his name is Biroc and that they should not trust the people they are about to meet, and departs as mysteriously as he came. Our heroes find themselves in a featureless white void, empty except for the TARDIS, a stranded spaceship (whose crew, led by Captain Rorvik, are indeed untrustworthy), and an incongruous ruined stone building. Line 12: It turns out that the void is some kind of [[Pocket Dimension]] that is on (or, perhaps, somehow ''is'') the boundary between N-Space and E-Space. When they eventually find the way out, consequently, our heroes are able to choose which way out to go. The Doctor and Adric return to N-Space in the TARDIS, while Romana and K-9 decide to return to E-Space and help Biroc in his continuing quest. === Tropes === * [[Almost-Dead Guy]]: "The secret to the gateway is... [thud]" Line 18: * [[BFG]]: Adric holds off the slave traders with their own giant cannon. "I don't know what these levers do...but it's pointing in ''your direction.''" * [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: Some of the weirder parts of the story, for thematically-appropriate but difficult-to-summarize reasons. * [[~~Distressed~~ Dude in Distress]]: All the Tharils we see prisoner are male. * [[Feudal Future]] * [[Gravity Sucks]] * [[Grey and Gray Morality]]: Between the Privateer crew and the Tharils. Rorvik and his crew have the air of [[Punch Clock Villain\|ordinary people just doing their job]]. Of course, that job is ''slavers'', but as it turns out, the Tharils themselves were slavers of humans in the past. * [[Hand Signals]]: Romana tells Adric not to come out if she gives the danger signal...then mimes putting her hands up. * [[Humans Are ~~Bastards~~the Real Monsters]] * [[I Choose to Stay]]: Romana * [[Ironic Echo]]: The weak enslave themselves.
