What about Salyavin? Salyavin? Oh yes.
He was a boyhood hero of mine.
Really Doctor? A great criminal your hero? Criminal, yes, but he had such style, such flair, such Panache? Yes.
A bit like me in that respect.

He was imprisoned before I was born.
Where? On Do you know, I can't remember.
Professor? Yes? Salyavin.
He was a contemporary of yours wasn't he? Where was he imprisoned? I've just remembered! I only just asked you.
What? Where Salyavin was imprisoned? Salyavin? I'm not talking about Salyavin.
Good riddance to him! We must find the book.
Professor, what do you think we're doing? I just remembered! What?! There was a young man here earlier.
Came to borrow some books.
He might have taken them whilst I was out of the room making tea.
What was his name, Professor, What was his name? Oh, I can't remember.
Oh dear, I've got a memory like Oh, what is it I got a memory like? What's that thing you strain rice with? What was his name, Professor? Was he old? Young? Tall? Short? I remember! What? A sieve! That's what it is! I've got a memory like a sieve What was his name, Professor? Oh, I can't remember that.
Oh, please try.
A A No, it doesn't begin with A B, B B, B C? Chris Parsons told his friend, Claire about the book.
Claire decided to wait with the book at the lab while Chris went back to the college to discover more about the extraordinary illegible tone.
P, Q, R, X, X, Y Young! Yes! Young Parsons! Born 1956, graduated 1978, honours degree in chemistry, currently engaged in Sigma particles.
Where would he be now, Professor? Physics Lab! First left! Yes! Yes! Back in two minutes.
If I'm not back in two hours, you and the Professor lock yourselves in the TARDIS, send out an all-frequency alert, and wait.
Wait! Right! More tea, my dear? Lovely, Two lumps! No sugar! Is the Professor alone now? Oh yes sir.
The Doctot left a few minutes ago.
Oh dear.
What's the matter? I've run out of milk.
I think that's the least of our problems.
I feel so stupid about losing that book.
Don't worry.
We'll find it.
I hope so.
I do hope so.
You're shivering, are you cold? No.
It's just a feeling.
Those voices unnerved me.
A cup of tea will make you feel better.
Ah - no milk.
I'll just pop out and get some.
I don't think that's a very awfully good idea Professor.
Why not? It's the only way I know of getting milk.
Short of keeping a cow.
We've got plenty.
Ah, splendid! Type forty isn't it? First come out when I was a boy.
That'll show you how old I am.
I won't be a moment.
Oh yes you will.
The kitchens are too far from the control chamber.
I've never known the Doctor to use them anyway.
Salyavin.
Yes.
Good riddance to him.
Salyavin.
Good riddance.
Undergraduates.
Come in! Have to be lemon tea I'm afraid.
No milk at the moment.
Girl's gone to get some.
How many of there are you for heaven sake? I only got seven cups.
Professor Chronotis.
Where are the others? Professor Chronotis.
Who are you? I have come for the book.
Book? What book? You know what book.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I haven't got any books.
Thats to say, I have lots of books.
What book would you like? The book you took from the Panopticon Archives.
What do you know of the Panopticon?! The Book, Professor! You are to give it to me.
On whose instructions? Mine Professor.
Who are you? My name does not concern you.
Give me the book.
I don't know where it is.
If you will not give me the information voluntarily, I will deduct it from you.
I am sure there is much else in your mind that will interest me.
Do not fight it Professor.
Do not fight it.
Or you will die.
Then I arrived at the lab and met Clare.
I decided to examine the book, very closely.
I got the milk.
Professor? Coming Mistress.
Professor! Who is it? It's me, Professor.
I just came back to What's happened? Is he alright? I don't know.
I think he's dead.
Negative Mistress.
He is alive but he is in a deep coma.
But what's happened to him.
Processing data.
Do you know him? Hardly at all.
He just lent me a book.
A book! We've been looking for a book! Chris Parsons? Chris Parsons? Yes.
.
Have you got it? No.
I left it back at the Lab.
You see Isn't the Doctor with you? How would I know? How would I know that the Professor was ill.
No no no, THE Doctor.
What? Mistress.
The Professor has been subjected to psycho active extraction.
Will he be alright? Physical prognosis fair.
Psycho prognosis uncertain.
It's a robot? Yes.
A robot dog? Yes.
Neat.
K-9, did you said psyscho active extraction? Affirmative Mistress.
Someone has stolen part of his mind.
WHAT did your dog say? Someone has stolen part of his mind.
His attempts to resist have caused severe cerebral trauma.
He is weakening fast.
Is this all for real? Do you want to make yourself useful? Well, if I can.
Go and get the medical kit from the TARDIS.
The what? Over there.
First door on the left, down the corridor, second door on the right, down the corridor, third door on the left, down the corridor, fourth door on the right Down the corridor? White cupboard opposite the door, top shelf.
For a moment, I thought you were pointing at that Police Box.
I was.
But I Please get it.
Hurry up! Professor? Can you hear me? Professor? Mistress.
His mind has gone.
You just said part of it, K-9.
Affirmative.
The part that is left is totally inert.
Professor! No response Mistress.
Thank you.
What are you doing? He's breathing and his hearts's beating so his autonomic brain is still functioning.
This collar can take over those functions and leave his autonomic brain free.
What good'll that do? He should be able to think with it.
Think with his autonomic brain? The human brain doesn't work like that.
The different function are separated by The Professor isn't human.
Ah.
And Clare and I discovered that the book was minus Twenty thousand years old and must be returned at once.
In the ship, Skagra was able to see in Chronotis's mind and view the Professor's experiences.
He see the point in which the student came to borrow the books, but the picture was too distorted to be any use.
Skagra was determined to discover any possible trance of the book in Chronotis's mind despite the consequences.
The collar is functioning.
K-9, Is there any trace of conscious thought? Processing data, Mistress Far too early to tell Good.
What do you mean - Good?! Well, don't you see? When one works as a scientist, one doesn't always know where one's going, or that there is anywhere for one to go.
But there are going to be big doors that stay permanently shut to one.
But I look at this, marvellous? And I know that a lot things that seem impossible are possible, so "good".
I take it that you are Romana.
No, I mean that you're not from Earth.
Mistress.
The Professor's condition is rapidly deteriorating.
Isn't there anything we can do? Negative Mistress, the condition is terminal.
But is he thinking? Can he hear us? Minimal cerebral impulses detectable, Mistress Can he talk? Negative.
The speech centres of the brain are completely inoperative.
Well your collar was a nice idea but Shhh!!! Wait a minute.
K-9, can you amplify his heart beat? Affirmative Mistress.
Brilliant! What? The Professor is a brave and clever man.
Listen.
I don't understand.
He's beating his heart in Gallifreyan morse! Professor, I can hear you! What do you want to tell us? Beware the sphere.
Beware Skagra.
Beware Shada.
The secret is in the He is dying Mistress.
Professor! All life function has now ceased, Mistress.
The Professor is dead.
Doctor? Yes? I am Skagra! I want the book.
Well, I'm the Doctor and you can't have it! You attempt to hide it from me? Yes, it will be taken to a place of safety.
Where? Oh, a little place I have in mind.
Doctor, you will give to me everything that you have in your mind.
Your mind shall be mine.
I'm not mad about your tailor.
