The Doctor soon realises that the phrase "forty-five" has been following them around for weeks, and discovers with horror that the phrase is the CORDIS -- TARDIS equivalent -- of a renegade Word Lord from a dimension composed entirely of language. He ushers all the base's personnel into his TARDIS for protection (who are all very freaked out at no longer needing their translators), puts Hex on research duty and has Ace go into the TARDIS along with the soldiers to protect them. Unfortunately, said Word Lord has named himself Nobody No-One, and any phrase containing his name (say, "No one can enter this base unnoticed" or "Nobody can get into the TARDIS to hurt these men"...) makes him pretty much all-powerful. Nobody promptly becomes corporeal right in the TARDIS console room, avoids the state of temporal grace entirely, murders every last soldier and very happily starts mocking Ace in manic hyperactive glee. The Doctor is absolutely ''terrified'' of his new EvilCounterpart, but eventually, with the help of his companions, reverses the polarity of the TARDIS' translation circuit and confuses the Word Lord into submission by making ''everything'' gibberish. Sadly, Spencer makes a HeroicSacrifice in the process to buy the Doctor more time, after revealing she's already met the Doctor in his own future.
