The Pirate Loop

About “The Pirate Loop”

The Doctor and Martha find themselves on the Starship Brilliant, a vessel whose mysterious disappearance has left the Doctor puzzled. He has no idea if the ship was destroyed by a sun, a black hole, or an attack, and he is uneasy about the possibility of a secret experimental drive. Martha is determined to uncover the truth, so the Doctor lands the TARDIS on the ship a few days before it vanishes. As they explore, the Doctor discovers the horrifying reality behind the ship's fate. Martha soon realizes that curiosity can lead to danger, as she faces chaos, death, and space pirates. The story follows the Doctor and Martha, as portrayed by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the BBC series.
