The Varnomium was a quarantined ship on which Nyssa worked to find a cure for the plague threatening the Stagnant Protocol. By the time the War Master arrived, she was working alone, both treating patients and running experiments to isolate the virus and reverse its impacts. The Master pretended to have been sent by the Stagnant Protocol, as an overseer, and joined her in her pursuit, sabotaging her experiments and manipulating her into killing one of her patients accidentally. In time, he managed to convince her to develop an even deadlier strain, in the interest of her research, and Nyssa finally realised who he was. The Master abandoned Nyssa aboard the Varnomium when he departed. (AUDIO: The Orphan)
