Nyssa stood outside the TARDIS looking down into the valley and willing Tegan to return with help. She turned to go back into the control room, reluctant to leave the Doctor on his own.

She entered through the double doors in time to see the injured man stagger to his feet. ‘Doctor, you’re better!’

He stumbled, and nearly collapsed on the floor again.

He grabbed at the side of the console for support, at the same time turning for a better view of the girl in the doorway.

His face had indeed begun to repair, but it was not that of the Doctor. Nyssa stood rooted to the spot.

‘Perpetual regeneration,’ the injured man muttered to himself, deliriously.

‘Regeneration?’ Was that what he was trying to say?

Regeneration! That would explain everything. Nyssa remembered Pharos and the terrible moment when the Doctor fell from the radio telescope. She remembered how, once before, they had comforted a Time Lord with the face of a stranger. ‘Doctor, you don’t mean it’s happening again?’

He groaned. ‘Life without end or form... changing...

changing...’

Nyssa had never seen the Doctor so wretched.

He tottered dizzily, and fell forward over the console.‘I shall regain strength soon,’ he stuttered.

Nyssa could see the wild, staring eyes desperately scanning the instruments.

‘My mind is clouded,’ he gasped. He focused on the girl.

‘You understand the navigation?’

‘Well, a bit,’ said Nyssa. ‘At the moment we’re still aligned with the ship,’ she added, trying to sound more positive.

‘Ah, that is well.’ It was as if he grew stronger. ‘Prepare to leave at once.’

‘We can’t leave without Tegan!’

‘At once!’ he screamed.
