Synopsis

As the Thirteenth Doctor and her friends end up stranded without the TARDIS on a hospital ship in space, with a strange and potentially deadly intruder on board, it is up to them, the crew, and the patients to figure out what it is, what it wants, and how to stop it before the creature tears the ship apart.

DOCTOR: It couldn't have been more than a month. Unless that was Seffilun 59.
YASMIN: Which one's this?
DOCTOR: Seffilun 27. Maybe 59's the one with a big pile of these. That's the problem with junk galaxies, all the planets look the same. It's hard to keep track.
GRAHAM: If we've wasted the last four hours on the wrong planet...
DOCTOR: Oi! Who took you rainbathing in the upward tropics of Kinstarno?
GRAHAM: Oh, no, no. Listen, that's amazing. I was just saying, like, needle... haystack.
DOCTOR: Yeah, you might be right.
GRAHAM: No, hold on. I've found something!

DOCTOR: I'm sorry.
YASMIN: What's he found?

YASMIN: What is it?
DOCTOR: Sonic mine. It's counting down.
GRAHAM: How long we got?
DOCTOR: Three, two...
