He tries to convince the President that a third party is trying to provoke the two empires into war. He brings the two travellers to confront the Draconian Prince, but the Doctor denies working for the Draconians. General Williams believes they are human agents planted by the Draconians to sabotage any war effort by Earth. The two travellers get locked up again as C982 heads back to Earth. When the rescue party arrives, Hardy and Stewart have stopped hallucinating, but with their memories garbled, accuse the Doctor and Jo of being Draconian spies. The Doctor points out that the Ogrons are mercenaries. When the Doctor revives and releases Jo, she tells him what the Ogrons did, and wonders if they are working for the Daleks, as they were when she first met them. They then tie Jo up, taking the ship's cargo and the TARDIS as they leave. The Ogrons' energy weapons stun the two pilots and the Doctor. As the enemy boarding party burns its way through the airlocks, Hardy gets the Doctor and Jo to use as hostages, but when the airlock door bursts open, the boarders are not Draconians, but Ogrons. Locked up in C982's hold, the Doctor deduces that the strange sound was some kind of sonic hypnosis device that caused Hardy to hallucinate and see what he most feared. News of the attack spreads and anti-Draconian riots break out on Earth, with the opposition calling for the government to take action. Williams's hostility against the Draconians is well known - it was his actions that started the original war between the two sides and the Prince believes Williams wants war again, a war the Prince warns the President that will see Earth destroyed. General Williams reports to the President that a mission to rescue C982 is being prepared. On Earth, the President and the Draconian ambassador (who is also the Emperor's son) accuse each other of attacking the other's ships and violating the frontier established by treaty between the two empires. Hardy escorts them at gunpoint to the ship. When Hardy goes to get weapons, he meets the Doctor, but sees him and Jo as Draconians. The two pilots, Stewart and Hardy, send out a distress signal and prepare for battle. It shimmers, changing shape, turning into a Draconian Galaxy-class battlecruiser. As the Third Doctor determines that they are in the 26th century, Jo sees a ship come alongside.
