"Transcripts from novels and synchro: wyxchari" "Flies trapped in amber." "Not even the Doctor can escape from a chronic hysteresis!" " A what?" " A loop inside in a fold in time." "Ah good." "His only respite is the short period when he loops back to the start." "Round and round." "For all eternity!" "Oh blast!" "Here we go again!" "What's the matter?" "Now his probe circuit's jammed!" "Oh, that's easy, just waggle his tail." "All right, we've tried everything else!" "Thank you, Mistress, repairs complete." "That's the third time." "What's happening?" "The TARDIS seems to be working normally." "Yes, then what?" "Repeated time cycles?" "Oh no." "It couldn't be a chronic hysteresis, could it?" "Chronic hysteresis." "I hope not." "If it is, we'll be stuck here forever." "So this Meglos can bend time?" "Right." "In a loop." "I've never heard of that, have you?" "What does it matter how it's done?" "The point is, the Doctor doesn't get to Tigella." "But he does, gentlemen." "He does!" "We mustn't disappoint the Tigellans!" "It's no good!" "Every time we try to..." "Oh blast!" "Here we go again!" "What's the matter?" "Now his probe circuit's jammed." "Oh, that's easy, just waggle his tail." "All right, we've tried everything else!" "Thank you, Mistress, repairs complete." "What can we try now?" "K9." "Is there any way out of a chronic hysteresis?" "Negative, Mistress." "No known technological procedure." "What's the looping?" "What about stopping the time rotor." "Yes." "No. ***** ***** help." "No known technological procedure." "Sorry. *****." "No technological procedure..." "But no known technological procedure." "Oh blast!" "Here we go again!" "Are you ready?" "Ten seconds to atmospheric entry." "Activating heat shields." "Heat shields." "A fascinating." "Still works." "And without it, you'd still be in your pot on Zolfa-Thura." "I've got a fix on the main city entrance." "Are we putting down there?" "No." "A jungle landfall, a bit to the north." "Stand by for landing." "Entering foliage now." "Well, Lexa?" "You will not *****." "*****." "The Time Lord may visit us." "You will allow him to inspect the Dodecahedron?" "On one condition." "He must take the Deon Oath." "Take the Deon?" "No, Lexa." "That would be an insult to our guest." "Your guest?" "How can we ask a Time Lord to swear allegiance to Ti?" "One again Zastor." "You can to impress us with all your diplomacy." "We wait here for one hour then?" "One hour precisely." "Do we come and get you if anything goes wrong?" "Goes wrong?" "General, I sometimes think you forget who I am!" "What a mind anything." "What a mind anything?" "Don't think too hard, you'll burst something." "I like that coat!" "*****." "The moment he arrives, I want Caris to bring him here." "Having first filled his mind with scientific nonsense I presume." "Temperature rising in food store." "I hope be friend the Doctor will appreciate all difficulties." "The Doctor has the maturity to respect many points of view." "We could inhabit the surface again." "If this Doctor fails us, we may have to!" "I am the Time Lord, the Doctor." "You are expecting me?" "Yes indeed, and you are most welcome." "Please follow me." "Central storage banks overloading." "Shall I close off receptor panels?" "No." "Not yet." "Re-route surplus to section five, they have spare capacity." "The oath-taking ceremony are prepared." "*****." "You must *****." "Zastor!" "It's ridiculous?" "It's good to make him, Deedrix." " Zastor." " Doctor." "It is good to see you again." "Again?" "It's be the long time." "I'm Zastor, now the Tigella Leader." "Oh yes, of course." "Yes, I remember you very well." "You've hardly changed at all, Doctor." "A little older, a little wiser?" "Oh, much wiser." "I gather your energy source has become a little capricious?" "Capricious?" "It's out of control." "Excuse me?" "I'm absorpt system I presume?" "Yes, a series of receptor panels, placed above the Dodecahedron and the radiated energy is measured here." "The screens can be closed down?" "Well yes, the central storage banks will be able to absorb the energy for about one hour, but it's extremely dangerous." "One hour is all I need." "Turn them off." "Close down receptor panels until further notice." "Good!" "Now show me to the Dodecahedron." "I'm sure you remember the way, Doctor." "Of course." "You are Leader now." "I will follow you." "Before entering the Power, you must take the Deon Oath." "A mere formality, Doctor." "Will you swear allegiance to Ti Doctor?" "I... swear allegiance to Ti." "I... swear allegiance to Ti with the greatest of pleasure." "I'm flattered that you should think me worthy." "Oh blast!" "Here we go again!" "What's the matter?" "Now his probe circuit's jammed!" "Oh, that's easy, just waggle his tail." "All right, we've tried everything else!" "Thank you, Mistress, repairs complete." "We can't get out of it." "We've tried everything." "That's what you said about repairing K9?" "We've tried everything?" "We've tried everything?" "We've tried everything?" "Of course!" "What?" "Can you remember the rest of what you said?" "I should do, we've been through it enough times." " K9?" " Master." "That's how we'll get out!" "We'll throw it out of phase." "Go through the sequence deliberately?" "Yes, yes, yes... before it comes back again." "Oh, you were over there." "Yes, good." "Off you go then!" "Oh blast, here we go again." "What's the matter?" "Now his probe circuit's jammed!" "Oh-that's-easy-just-waggle-his-tail!" "All right, we've tried everything else." "Thank you, Mistress..." "Repairs..." "Phase cancellation!" "We've done it." "Well done." "For a moment there, I thought you'd forgotten your lines!" "And never to transgress the laws of the Dodecahedron." "And never to transgress the laws of the Dodecahedron." "Thanks be to Ti." "Thanks be to Ti." "You are now free to enter the Power Room." "People of Tigella!" "What I have to do now is extremely dangerous." "To control the output of energy it may first be necessary to provoke even more violent emissions." "Then you'll be in danger yourself?" "Well hardly." "I am a Time Lord." "Having existed in the future, I cannot die in the present." "That can't be true, it's a philosophical paradox." "No, simply beyond your comprehension." "However your lives will be in great danger." " You must all leave!" " Precisely." "Only I must enter the Power Room!" "It was agreed that I should accompany him." "On the god's behalf." "Now, I have the protection of Ti yourself." "Would you appear to distrust his blessing?" "So be it." "Well, according to my calculations, this should be close to the City gate." "Well, if this is so close to the City, I can only assume we're in some sort of park..." "All this greenery has shot up quite a bit since I was last here..." " Where's the City gate?" " That way!" " 22 degrees north, 36.4 degrees west." " Right." " Doctor!" " Yes." "Ah, well." "Anyone can make a mistake." "Ten thousand years." "I only got the direction wrong because of Tigella's anti-clockwise rotation." "Anomaly." "Partial incineration of vegetation evident." " Nonsense, K9, these leaves are burned." " Mistress?" "." "Come on, there's no time for botany." "What would cause that?" "Thinness of the atmosphere?" "Negative, Mistress." "Projection of Dodecahedron power insufficient." "*****, Mistress." "Explanation necessary." "What are you doing here, Caris?" "Let's go." "It is vital that we Savants understand what is going on here." "You were ordered to stay out this area." "And so were you, Lexa!" "It's come back." " What's happened to the light?" " What?" "Hello dear, I'm the Doctor, I'm expect?" " I didn't see you go out?" " What?" "This is the second time you've been here." "I see you remarkable memory, you must been fifty of your years since I was here last." "Roma...?" " K9, do you know where she's got to?" " Master." " Well, run and fetch her." "Tell her to hurry up!" " Master." "It isn't possible." "Oh, "belle" plants." "Very nasty." "No wonder the Tigellans live underground." "It was a ship..." "Finish?" "We watch the Doctor living..." "The Power Room's empty!" " But *****." " Central Control." "Activate the *****." "It's dead." "It's dead." "There's no power down there." "Where's the Doctor?" "He has betrayed us." "No, wait a minute." "Told me it was happen?" "No delay in time." "Out of my way." "This is Control Command." "This is Control Command." "Arrest the Time Lord." "Stop him at all costs." "He must not leave the City." "I was sure Central Control was somewhere..." "Ahhh." "Excuse me, I'm the Doctor." "I am expected." "I wonder if you could let people know I've arrived." "Stop the Time Lord." "Stop the Doctor." "Take him at all cost." "It's very impressive. ****** very impressive." "This here." "Take him." "No, no." "It's all right." "I'm the Doctor." "Where is the Dodecahedron?" "I don't no." "I can't even find Central Control." "Zastor, I'm good to see you." "Would you tell who I am." "I know who you are." "Doctor, what happened?" "Please, please." "Take calm." "I'm sorry I'm so late." "We would have been here earlier." " But we got in a chronic hysteresis that's a sort of time loop." " Why?" "Yes, my assistant will be along in a minute, she'll explain." "Anyway, how are you?" "Baffled, Doctor." "I better come with us." " But what about Romana?" " I ***** and take him away." "So that's what ***** burning." "I do beg your pardon." "Mistress?" "Mistress?" "Respond negative." "Batteries require re-charge." "Return... to... the..." "City..." "She's seen too much." "Kill her!"
