TEXT: THE TRIAL OF A TIME LORD PART NINE (TERROR OF THE VERVOIDS) Run time: 24:56 [SCENE_BREAK] Trial room [SCENE_BREAK] Inquisitor: We are all aware of your feelings of sorrow, Doctor. Has the recess given you sufficient time to overcome the distress of your bereavement? The Doctor: I doubt that there will ever be sufficient time for that, my lady. Valeyard: May we not proceed, my lady? The cavalier manner in which the Doctor permitted his young companion to be destroyed militates against this charade of concern. Inquisitor: The Doctor is fighting for his life, Valeyard. However, I do take your point. Doctor, are you ready to present your evidence? The Doctor: Yes. Yes, I am grateful to you, madam, for according me the same privilege as the Valeyard that allowed me access to the Matrix. My excursion will be into the future. Valeyard: The future? Is it going to be the Doctor's defence that he improves? The Doctor: Precisely. Valeyard: This I must see. The Doctor: My submission concerns a crisis which threatens the lives not only of a group of people confined together with no means of escape, but would, if unresolved, threaten every mortal being on the planet Earth. Inquisitor: Proceed. The Doctor: Mogar, a planet on the Perseus arm of the Milky Way. [SCENE_BREAK] Space [SCENE_BREAK] The Doctor (O.C.): Rich in rare metals. A top priority consignment of these precious metals is being loaded aboard Hyperion Three, an intergalactic liner that ferries between Mogar and Earth. A scheduled flight in the Earth year two thousand nine hundred and eighty six. [SCENE_BREAK] Lounge [SCENE_BREAK] The Doctor (O.C.): The crew is aboard. The last passengers are reporting in. Many will never complete the journey, for, in order to protect a secret hidden on the space liner, one will become a murderer. Lasky: Am I
SUMMARY:
Arriving back in the courtroom, the Doctor starts his defense by showing the future beginning with his arrival onboard the spaceship Hyperion III which is on it's way from the planet Mogar to Earth with a cargo of rare metals. The Doctor shows the court that the TARDIS picked up a distress signal and he responded to it. Upon arrival, the Doctor tells Mel that he can sense evil. They are then captured and brought before Commodore Travers.
