What happened to the Starship
Brilliant? Some think it fell into the sun…or a black hole. Others guess it was shot down…at
the start of the galactic war. The Doctor: he does not have a clue…he may have travelled time and space but this still puzzles him.
Martha wants to know and because she is so keen, they will land on
Brilliant…a few days before it vanishes…so they can see for themselves.
The Doctor finds out the awful secret concealed by the universe and Martha learns she has to be careful about what she wants. She did not wish for mayhem or death or... space pirates.
