Unharmonious Eye
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 9118

A cold wave washed over Fred. That was exactly what the Doctor had said
in his dream. Even thought he'd began to get used to the idea of his
dreams truthfully fortelling events, this was enough to give even a stout
warrior like him a chill. Astra seemed
unaffected, however. "What isn't right?" she asked, even though she knew
she probably hadn't much hope of understanding the answer. The Doctor was frowning. "There's a disturbance in the Eye. Something... I don't know, something I've never seen before." Ragan was standing there looking nervous. "Uh, Doctor? Just hypothetically, what would happen to someone if they fell into the Eye?" "Well, I should imagine they'd be killed. Rather unpleasantly. Why?" "Unless they were wearing the Sash of Rassilon, right?" asked Betty. Fred and Astra exchanged puzzled glances, and the Doctor looked taken aback. "Well, I suppose so, yes." Betty, taking pity on the confused Fred and Astra, said: "The Sash of Rassilon is a Time Lord artifact, worn by the president of the High Council of Gallifrey. It can protect the wearer from the deadly forces inside the black hole." Fred and Astra looked only slightly less confused. Inquirer gave them all an I-don't-think-I-like-where-this-is-going sort of look. "What are you getting at?" asked the Doctor. "Well," said Ragan, "the thing is... The Master fell into it. The one in your TARDIS, I mean. At the end of the TV movie." "Good heavens, he wasn't wearing the Sash, was he?" the Doctor sounded quite alarmed. "No, no," said Betty quickly. "But he did wear it at one point." "In 'The Deadly Assasin,'" put in Ragan unhelpfully. "And I'm beginning to have what I hope is just a paranoid suspicion... But what if the Master survived somehow? I mean, it is something he's really good at. And Omega did it -- surviving inside a black hole, I mean. So what if... What if he's... in there?" She shivered. "Protected by some sort of residual effect from having worn the Sash, maybe. Or something." "But he fell into the Eye in the Doctor's original TARDIS," protested Betty. "Not this one. And anyway, that was in a different universe, right?" "But all the Eyes are linked through the Eye on Gallifrey," said the Doctor. "If he had somehow survived in there, theoretically he could have access to any TARDIS in existence! Well, assuming he was able to get out, that is." "And he'd probably have a special affinity for this one," said Inquirer, "since it was his. Well, an analog of his, anyway." "And since you're on it, Doctor," put in Ragan. "He's always been obsessed with you." "I may not have understood much of what you're saying," said Astra," but it certainly doesn't sound good. And what I want to know is, what does it all have to do with..." But she broke off her sentence as...
