The short child tottered along after the Gallifreyan Lord-President. He had come as an initiation rite... to gaze upon raging Time itself! He had come to gaze into... THE UNTEMPERED SCHISM! "Come now," said the Lord-President. "It is time." The small child gazed into the Untempered Schism...

Many years later, at the dawn of the end of Gallifrey...

"We must do something!" said an anonymous Gallifreyan, of the High Gallifreyan Council. "Come now Rassilon, can't you see? We're going to die!" "Yes, I shall do something." said Rassilon, the Lord-President of Gallifrey. "I shall trace the future whereabouts of the man known as the Master!" A holographic image appeared, one of the planet Earth. "I will send him a telepathic link!" "But, sir, the link is still just an idea! We need something to make it stronger!" replied the anonymous Gallifreyan. "And this shall certainly do it!" said Rassilon. He plucked a white-point star from his cane, and threw it at the holograph. The diamond disappeared. "You can't do that!" yelled a Gallifreyan in the back of the room. Without leaving his chair, Rassilon raised his metal-gloved hand, and the shouting man exploded into black fragments. "For Gallifrey," intoned the Lord-President. The people of the planet Gallifrey yelled "FOR GALLIFREY!"
