Doctor! Why on Gallifrey is there a city called Atlantis on here?
Oh, yes. That. Where was it?
Just beyond the engine room.
Ah! That's where I put it!
What do you mean, Doctor? You 'put' Atlantis on the TARDIS?
Yes, well, I always intended to find out why it disappeared, but things were in a bit of a rush-
They always are.
Yes, well, I realised the only way to escape was to bring Atlantis onto the TARDIS. Don't worry, they're all under strict orders not to leave the city.
So can we return it now?
I don't think so. It's the lost city of Atlantis, people are puzzling over its disappearance for centuries. What would they do if it suddenly appeared?
Very good point, Sarah. You see, Romana, it's not that simple. Me taking Atlantis onto the TARDIS is now a fixed point in time, and we can't just return it.
So what are we going to do about this medium sized, level 2 city full of people inhabiting your TARDIS?
I have a feeling that you aren't going to let me leave them there.
Of course not! They didn't sign up for a life of travelling through other planets… Do they even know there is such a thing as another planet? We can't keep them here.
And we can't return them to where they're supposed to be, so…
Oh, stop worrying, you two. I'll just drop them off on an uninhabited planet, they can make a living for themselves there.
And that won't disrupt the time streams, the apparent survival of thousands of people?
I do know what I'm doing, Romana!
Do you? I hear you failed temporal theory the first time you took it.
Only because I didn't want to get a job on the council! I want to actually do something useful with my life. I am NOT going into law!
I'll just leave you two at it…
