Non arrival, shipment of synthetic protein, New York to Moscow, Moonbase clearance awaited.
- Brent: Oh, not again!
- Gia Kelly: The second Moscow consignment?
- Brent: Yes, they'll think we're deliberately sabotaging their stuff if this goes on.
- Gia Kelly: T-Mat Reception, Earth to Moon. Controller Kelly calling. Switch your communication links to video. Osgood's gone too far this time! They'll be trouble!
- Zoe: [whooshing] Doctor, if we've landed, where are we?
- Dr. Who: That is what I'm trying to find out, Zoë.
- Zoe: A rocket?
- Jamie: Hey, we're just hanging in space!
- Dr. Who: Well, we can't be!
- Zoe: Well, let's try and find a star we know.
- Dr. Who: [groans with effort] There we are. Oh... What in heaven's name...?
- Jamie: Hey, what's he up to?
- Zoe: He's trying to climb aboard.
- Dr. Who: Just a minute... Just a minute... Oh, this control is... There we are. No, now that's an ion-jet rocket of the twenty first century, but... but... this helmet, if I can... There we are! That's not nearly so sophisticated. It's certainly not later than nineteen sixty.
- Jamie: Those letters on his helmet?
- Zoe: C-C-C-P.
- Dr. Who: Of course!
- Jamie: What?
- Dr. Who: Just a minute. Yes, I... I think that explains it!
- Zoe: Well, Doctor, what is it?
- Dr. Who: Well, it's a... it's a flying machine, designed by a gentleman by the name of Leonardo Da Vinci in about umm fifteen hundred.
- Jamie: Well, what's it doing up here?
- Zoe: Doctor, where are we?
- Dr. Who: We're in a museum!
- Jamie, Zoe: A what?
- Dr. Who: A space museum! Look! There you are. A balloon... That's a transport plane. Now, those initials, they stand for Russia. That's Gagarin, the first earthman in space. Look. Come on, let's have a look round, shall we?
- Jamie: Right.
- Dr. Who: Wait for me!
- Slaar: [hissing, labored breathing] You saw what happened to your superior. You would do well to co-operate.
- Fewsham: Killing him didn't do you any good.
- Slaar: Would you do as I ask.
- Fewsham: There is nothing I can do.
- Slaar: You do not want to die?
- Fewsham: I'm not that good enough a technician! It needs an expert!
- Slaar: But you are second in command, here.
- Fewsham: Yes, but...
- Slaar: Then you must have certain abilities. You must know what needs to be done.
- Fewsham: In theory, yes.
- Slaar: Then you will do it!
- Phipps: He'll only make it worse!
- Slaar: What is their status here?
- Fewsham: Maintenance. Second class technicians.
- Locke: There is only one person who can really put things to right, and she's at Earth control.
- Phipps: Without her, it just can't be done!
- Slaar: Who is this specialist?
- Fewsham: Miss Kelly, technical coordinator. But there's no way to reach her. T-Mat is not working.
- Slaar: But you have a video link?
- Fewsham: Yes, but, Osgood wrecked that, too!
- Slaar: So, there is no means to communicate with Earth?
- Phipps: No, you've cut us off completely!
- Slaar: In that case, you are useless! You will all be destroyed!
- Fewsham: You've got to help me! If we don't repair it, we'll all be killed!
- Locke: Maybe we could repair it and T-Mat back to London.
- Fewsham: With that thing guarding the door? I'm gonna keep on trying.
- Locke: Maybe there is something we can do.
- Phipps: What?
- Fewsham: I knew you'd see reason!
- [Phipps walks over to the video link]
- Fewsham: What are you doing?
- Locke: The video link with Earth. Yes, it's not so badly damaged as the T-Mat.
- Fewsham: But we're told to repair the T-Mat link, not the video!
- Phipps: Let's have a look. Maybe we can get a message through by video.
- Fewsham: The guards will see what we're doing! They'll kill us!
- Locke: You play your game, we'll play ours.
