The Twelfth Doctor piloted the Tardis with excellent speed, going where no human had gone in centuries. Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper, who had joined him on this mission, had been very confused by the Doctor's strangeness at that moment. "I'm making the final calculations," said the Doctor. "We should be on Gallifrey soon." The Tardis landed on Gallifrey's wastelands, and the Tardis scanner began to activate. "It looks like another Tardis! Let's go check it out."
The Doctor exited the box with Jack and Gwen by his side and came face to face with the owner of the clone Tardis. The woman who stood in front of him smiled and tried to start a conversation. "It's good to see you still kicking around. The last thing I remember was you investigating the Time Lords. How'd that go?"
"Whoever you are," said the Doctor. "Your games won't work on me. I know your plans, and I'm going to stop them." The Doctor's eyebrows began to narrow. "Hey, I'm you!" The woman stated.
The Twelfth Doctor looked shocked for a moment, and then came to his senses. "Still not ginger?"
"I'd like to be."
"Have you considered dyeing it?"
"I've never done it before, so why would I do it now? The Thirteenth Doctor looked offended, while the Twelfth Doctor simply smiled. They began their journey towards the Capitol, while a mysterious man watched them. "Oh dear, there they are. We must warn those two." The man beckoned his companion to follow him, and they began to hike down the mountain.

"Are you sure!?" The General screamed at the Scout AI, which had been notoriously buggy lately. "I am sure of that, General," It stated. "Two Earth Police Boxes, miles away from the Capitol."
"In that case," said the General, "We must go faster."

The Gallifreyan storms were terrible during the walk, and the Doctors could not resist getting sand in their eyes and mouth. The Twelfth Doctor only hoped that the invasion was not real, and that Gallifrey would stick to their old ways. Meanwhile, the companions stayed in Thirteen's Tardis.
"What's wrong with the lights?" Jack asked. Yaz responded with a simple: "They're atmospheric."
"Atmospheric?" Gwen asked. "I never knew that this was a French restaurant."
Jack laughed, and Yaz frowned due to her undying love for the Doctor. "Well," Yaz said. "I think we should make ourselves useful. Let's get to work and scan the planet."
