The Doctor saves the day by diving headfirst into the fake afterlife of the Relic, fetching the Mother Superior (whom Grayvorn had gotten rid of between bodies) and unleashing her on Grayvorn. Sadly, the end result has Artaris turning into a desolate wasteland -- [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoSpecialsExcelisDawns just as Grayvorn saw all those centuries ago]].

Grayvorn, now going by "Lord Vaughn Sutton", is the scientific advisor to the war-state of Artaris, which is at war with... well, the rest of the galaxy. He's stolen himself a new body and molded it into his old shape through sheer force of will. Seven hangs out with the local populace for a bit and gets to know the dictatorship, eventually realising that Grayvorn is building a SuperSoldier army. The soldiers are golems, entire legions of which can be animated using the souls of just a few people, And since the Relic is acting as a replacement for whatever afterlife is out there, the Relic is enabling Grayvorn's plans.
