Line 1: {{work}} [[File:eden_6225.jpg\|frame]] {{quote\| '''Romana''': ''I don't think we should interfere.''~~<br />~~ '''The Doctor''': ''Interfere! Of course we should interfere. Always do what you're best at, that's what I say.'' }} Line 12: Eventually the Doctor manages to separate the two ships, with help from the TARDIS's systems. The drug-smugglers turn out to be Tryst and Dymond, the owner of the smaller ship. It turns out that vraxoin is made from decomposed Mandrel corpses, which was why Tryst was keeping them in his hi-tech zoo. The Doctor decides to return the Mandrels and the other specimens to their original planets. ---- === Tropes === * [[All There in the Manual]]: The weird glowing thing that knocks Romana out is explained in the novelisation as a venomous Eden insect. * [[Bad Cop, Incompetent Cop]]: Fisk and Costa * [[Battle Discretion Shot]]: The Doctor's fight with the Mandrels as he lures them back into the CET projection. The subject of much condemnation then and since by [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys\|certain fans]]. * [[Call Back]]: The CET machine and the Mandrels are very similar to the Miniscope and the Drashigs from "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S10 E2/E02 Carnival of Monsters\|Carnival of Monsters]]". * [[Clear My Name]] / [[Not What It Looks Like]] * [[Death World]]: The misleadingly named Eden. (The novelisation makes it clear that this was deliberately sarcastic.}) * [[Drunk Driver\|Drugged Pilot]] * [[Drugs Are Bad]] Line 29: * [[Herr Doktor]]: Tryst, although he's closer to the older unworldly [[Dichter and Denker]] German stereotype. * [[Judge, Jury, and Executioner]] * [[Man-Eating Plant]]: The centre of a [[~~Big~~Non ~~Lipped~~Sequitur ~~Alligator Moment~~Scene]] when the Doctor gets pointlessly attacked by one while wandering around the Eden projection, and defeats it by biting it. * [[Pinata Enemy]]: Monsters that turn into a highly sought-after narcotic when you kill them. * [[Portal Picture]]: The CET machine
