{{work}}
The Doctor and Ace are admiring the TARDIS art gallery, containing collections from the length and bredth of the universe that the Doctor...[[Insistent Terminology|"rescued"]] moments before History indicated they were to be destroyed. But there's just one piece missing; Edward Munch's "[[The Scream]]". Hating to have a bare wall, the Doctor decides to pop off to the future colony and shipping hub of Duchamp 331, a planet with no real flora or fauna to speak of, where it's scheduled to soon disappear under mysterious circumstances.

Upon arriving, they instantly find themselves answering a [[Distress Call]] from one refueling station attendant...who insists his station had been attacked by the dust.

Meanwhile, Madame Elsa Salvadori is preparing to embark on her luxury art and hob-nobbing cruise to Duchamp 331, along with an assortment of similar well-to-dos and [[Upper Class Twit|nobles]]...a cruise funded by the mysterious, masked [[Significant Anagram|Mr Seta]]...

=== "Dust Breeding" contains examples of: ===
* [[Cool Mask]]: Mr Seta wears a [http://www.daryljoyce.co.uk/genre-illustration/doctor-who-illustration/the-seventh-doctor/dust-breeding---mr-seta beautiful gold mask]... [[Nightmare Face|with good reason]].
* [[Distress Call]]
* [[Phlebotinum Overload]]:  {{spoiler|The Master has lost his Antony Ainley-shaped figure, explained due to a failed previous attempt of trying to harness and capture the Warp Core}}.
* [[Public Domain Artifact]]: Here we learn Edvard Munch was inspired to paint "[[The Scream]]" because  {{spoiler|a psychotic alien [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]] had taken residence inside his head, and the cathartic action of painting transplated it into the canvas}}. [[Doctor Who]]. It's never boring.
* [[Turned Against Their Masters]]: The Warp Core was made to be the ultimate weapon. It worked perfectly, as its creators found out the hard way.
* [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]]: The Warp Core, designed to fight an equally dangerous race of [[Exclusively Evil]] monsters, The Krill. In the finale,  {{spoiler|the Core controls/inhabits all the dirt and dust of an ''entire planet''}}.
* [[Wham! Line]]: Although pretty much common knowledge now, and quite obvious considering the [[Significant Anagram]], the reveal at the end of episode 2 was quite a shocker at the time.
{{quote|'''Mr Seta''': They are the Krill. Unstoppable, biologically engineered killers. They are the ultimate weapon, and the method by which I will become ''all powerful''.
'''Klemp''': Who ''are'' you!?
'''Mr Seta''':  {{spoiler|I am [[The Master (trope)|The Master]], and ''you will '''obey''' me''}}.
