Publisher's summary
Leela is assigned to the War Room by Lord Rassilon himself. There, she finds an earlier incarnation of Ollistra, restored from the Matrix to oversee operations. She has a mission for Leela, and will go to any lengths to ensure compliance...

Plot
Veklin takes Leela from her cell to the War Room on the orders of Rassilon, who has Vibax fit Leela with a compliance collar and threatens to hand her back to Vibax for genetic engineering if she fails to fight for Gallifrey. A Matrix projection of Ollistra's previous incarnation sends Leela on a mission with the General and Veklin to destroy Freme before the Daleks can ally themselves with the native Fremians by placing Vibax's planet-killing device in a volcanic fissure vent.
