When the strange planet swallowed the TARDIS the Doctor had no choice but to follow...

Summary
The Doctor now knows the planet is alive. He takes an anti-gravity pack from one of the many wrecked spacecraft on the surface and descends a blowhole in the planet's skin-like crust to find the TARDIS.

At the end of his drop is an ocean of plasma, the planet's bloodstream. He finds an island made of debris and the TARDIS. He also finds the scavenging descendants of a race fleeing from stellar catastrophe in a Gamma Class VII Life Ark.

The Doctor avoids attack from the planet's defences. He uses spare fuel cells from his anti-gravity pack. He lodges the anti-gravity pack in one of the defence creatures' mouth and sends it to the planet's surface. He encourages the survivors to climb the ridges of the creatures body. They will adapt to a new life on the surface. The Doctor slides down to retrieve the TARDIS. It has been taken even deeper into the planet...
