Serial #23: The Ark

The Doctor, Steven, and Dodo arrive on an Ark...in space! The remnants of the human race has joined forces with a race known as the Monoids. Together, they have fled Earth before it is overtaken by the Sun and are heading to the planet Refusis 2 where they hope to re-establish civilization.  Unfortunately, Dodo has a cold....and the humans and Monoids of the distant future have no resistance to the virus....

STEVEN: Look, do you think this has happened before? That we've carried an infection from one age to another, or even one planet to another?
DOCTOR: Oh, I don't want to think it about it, dear boy. It's too horrifying. Though I must say that we're usually very healthy.
STEVEN: It'll spread through the whole ship, become an epidemic.
___________

STEVEN: And that, unfortunately, tells me only one thing...That the nature of man, even in this day and age, hasn't altered at all. You still fear the unknown, like everyone else before you.
______________________________

DOCTOR: He's right. A long time ago, your ancestors accepted responsibility for the welfare of these Monoids. They were treated like slaves. So no wonder when they got the chance, they repaid you in kind.
REFUSIAN: Unless you learn to live together, there is no future for you on Refusis.
DASSUK: We understand.
DOCTOR: Yes, you must travel with understanding as well as hope. You know, I once said that to one of your ancestors, a long time ago.
