Chapter 7
The Master opened his eyes and heaved himself into a sitting position, incredibly relieved to see that the deadlock bolts had been melted through. He didn't remember leaving the Zero Room, or collapsing from exhaustion in the hallway, but the intense need to escape had not faded. As his senses grew sharper, he became aware of an enticing aroma wafting through the air. It was what he'd smelled on the Doctor, only much stronger. He inhaled deeply and stumbled to his feet, retracing his steps to the cargo hold, which he found, thankfully, unlocked. He crossed to the red TARDIS, fully expecting to find that the Doctor had disabled his isomorphic controls, but the door opened at his touch. "Either he's a bigger idiot than I thought, or you were meant for me."
Once inside, he immediately activated the scanner. Whirlpools of unusual energy were visible all over the planet, but appeared concentrated over Great Britain. One of the largest masses was right outside the nested TARDISes. The other was about six hundred miles to the south. Hazarding a logical guess as to which one the Doctor was currently exploring, he chose the other. He threw the TARDIS into gear, being sure to release the parking brake.
