XEROS (The planet is dry and arid. In front of some hills stand several space rockets of differing shape and design. Next to them is a squat, two-tiered building with geometrically shaped patterns on the outside and an elaborate radar device on the roof. There is one large entrance to the building. With a roar of its engines, the TARDIS materialises nearby.) [SCENE_BREAK] 3: INT. TARDIS. CONSOLE ROOM (Inside the ship, the four travellers are still immobile, but one strange change has occurred. Instead of their clothes from the time of the crusades, they are now attired in their normal wear. They slowly come to and start to move, VICKI half-falling over the console. The DOCTOR passes a hand over his brow.) DOCTOR: Ah! Ahh! Oh, lights! (He activates a switch and the room is bathed in its normal bright light.

IAN: Doctor, we've got our clothes on! DOCTOR: Well, I should hope so, dear boy. I should hope so! BARBARA: No Doctor, our ordinary, everyday clothes. (He looks at his "normal" Edwardian attire.)

SUMMARY:
The TARDIS jumps a time track and the travellers arrive on the planet Xeros. There they discover their own future selves displayed as exhibits in a museum established as a monument to the galactic conquests of the warlike Morok invaders who now rule the planet. When time shifts back to normal, they realise that they must do everything they can to avert this potential future. Vicki helps the native Xerons obtain arms and revolt against the Moroks. The revolution succeeds and the travellers go on their way, confident that the future has been changed.
