When the Doctor returns to Gallifrey, he learns that his bio data extract has been stolen from the Time Lords' master computer known as the Matrix.

The Gallifreyan High Council believe that anti-matter will be infiltrated into the universe as a result of the theft. In order to render the information useless, they decide the Doctor must die...

'HELLO,' SAID THE DOCTOR CHEERFULLY. 'I'M THE DOCTOR.' MAXIL RAISED HIS STASAR PISTOL AND SHOT HIM DOWN.
