Part 1
A man is sweeping up a train when all of a sudden a ghostly girl appears in front of him. He gets the shock of his life but then hundreds of ghosts fly in and advance towards him.

The next day the Doctor and Majenta Pryce are on a train in the London Underground when all of a sudden the train stops. They where on there way to see The Mousetrap. The Doctor says his sonic screwdriver had picked up a Psychic Pulse from somewhere down a tunnel. They walk out of the train leaving some of the passengers worried as the doctor mentioned Aliens. As they walk down the corridor they find the cleaner that got took by the ghosts. He is now a ghost himself the doctor tries to talk to him but he attacks the doctor. Majenta picks up the screwdriver and she zaps the man. He turns back to normal self but still a ghost. His name is Eddie Lang the Doctor tries to tell him he is dead but Majenta just blurts it out. He starts ranting on about a machine and then he runs of.

Elsewhere at the Northern Line a train starts speeding down when all of a sudden the same ghostly girl stands there. The Train stops just in time, the driver is speaking on his phone when he is cut of.

The Doctor and Majenta began searching for the man he tells her that there is no such thing as ghosts. He says they are time leaks and psychic imprints. The Doctor opens a gate and they find "ghosts" of all eras. They ignore them and they are follwoing a Psychic pulse. The Doctor says it is just him and Majenta in the tunnels. Then a voice booms of "And Me". The passengers on the train that was stopped talk to the girl she says "Look, Look up" all of a sudden ghostly figures advance on them and she starts to laugh.

The Doctor and Majenta found a cybernetic woman in the tunnels she knows there names as she has read there minds. Her name is Mnemosyne she says all the people the doctor and Majenta are all part of her know. The ghosts begin advancing on them.

Part 2
Twenty minutes before the previous event, the staff at underground control is miffed at why the trains had stopped. An employee says to his boss Brian that he is not sure why.

Two minutes later Mnemosyne has the "ghosts" restrain the Doctor and Majenta. Mnemosyne tells the story of how she got to planet Earth, 107 years ago.

Her master, an alien, stole a Mnemosyne unit and sold the technoliogy across the galaxy. She remembered he had sucess until he came here where the humans battered him to death. Mnemosyne hid in the London underground recording psychic patterns of the master.

She then went to proceed with the next step in her plan. She took over television screens and broadcated her message. She said she would destroy Earth. Majenta does not understand why, but the Doctor says it is because Mnemosyne wants revenge, she is programmed to mourn the dead, she fell in love with her master. The Doctor runs off to stall them, he asks Majenta to negotiate with them.

The Doctor looks for the junction box and he finds a train. He sees that everyone there has been turned into ghosts. He finds the ghostly girl, who turns out to be Mnemosyne but in another form. The Doctor refuses to give himself up and runs only to have the ghosts chase him.

Majenta negotiates with Mnemsyne. The "ghosts" tells her to shut up, but the "ghost" of Eddie tells them to hear her out. The "ghosts" says that they are fed up of being lonely. Eddie agrees to help Majenta, if she will care for them when they are gone and she promises to do so.

The Doctor finds the junction box, the girl finds him he is grabbed by the ghosts. They held him there ready for him to get hit by a train.

Eddie confronts Mnemosyne, but she says he should obey her. He hits her on the head with his brush and the "ghosts" then attacked her. She falls to the floor and begs Majenta to save her, instead Majenta smashes Mnemosynes head and the "ghosts" begin to fade away.

The Doctor yankes the cables out just in time so the train does not hit him. Meanwhile at underground control Brian says that UNIT clearence will clear away the mess. He says on the other side of the phone that the crisis is all over. The girl has not faded away she says.

"Is it Doctor? Just Remember what I said when the Time comes I'll be Waiting... ... We'll all be wating"

As the Doctor and Majenta leaves, Majenta suggests they go and see The Mouseytrap. The Doctor says no, he is going to Panacea right now. He tells her it is over. All of a sudden a voice beemes out from the sky. Saying it is the voice of Justice, Intersol has this world completely surrounded. They demand that she came out with her hands up.
