When the Doctor decides to take Clara to see the magnificent Starship Wembley in it's prime, he is shocked when he finds it missing in action. Slowly, reports filter through of other Starships vanishing. Reunited with an old friend, the Doctor and Clara must find out who's playing with fixed points in time.

1. Prologue

The following is a transcript from Starship Wembley.

The black box begins recording at 1600 hours on Tuesday 5th April 2154.

Man 1: We have incoming on the port side! And the starboard! My god, they're everywhere. Pike, give me the status of the engines.

Pike: [pause] Three engines down, three still firing sir, but we ain't going anywhere. Engines two and four are down, but they've overheated and are leaking radiation into the time jump. We try to move and we tear a hole in the cosmos.

[Reply inaudible]

Pike: Negative sir, all airlock shields are at full capacity. [4 second pause.] No, wait the power is being drained sir, and quickly. We're at forty percent sir and dropping.

Man 1: Damn. Hang on, they've stopped attacking. We're clear on both sides, Pike. Divert all available power to the airlock shields. Nothing get on this shi-

[Cross talk]

Pike: -Too late sir.

[Explosion and recording stops for fifteen minutes and thirty two seconds.]

Man 1: Bar the damn door Pike! [Inaudible reply from Pike] I don't care who's out there, do it!

Pike: We can't just leave them sir!

[Sound of laser gun being fired up]

Man 1: Then get out there and join them.

[Reply inaudible]

[Two laser shots fired, thud.]

Man 1: God have mercy on my soul.

[Recording stops for two minutes eight seconds.]

[Explosion, Man 1 whimpers]

Man 1: See you in hell!

[Laser shots for two minutes sixteen seconds then silence for eight seconds]

Unknown Life form: EXTERMINATE!

[Harsh laser sound, silence for eight seconds]

[Recording stops at 1633 hours on Tuesday 5th April 2154.
