Upon emerging from his room that morning, Marcus had gazed around himself in stunned silence. Something was very odd. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked around again. He didn't know this place at all! Where once there had been dried grass in the fields and hills in the distance, now there were palm trees swaying on the lawn below his balcony, and the cry of gulls on the moist and salty wind. Looking back at his dormitory, he found that it had changed its exterior, too, and was clad now in bamboo rather than the thick pine logs it had borne at the ranch. What on Earth had happened? Wearing his black fully-covering Ranger outfit was starting to feel like a very warm proposition. Of course, it had been designed for every climate... Marcus decided to leave it on, and to go explore his new surroundings.

After he had made the happy discovery that the large central building was still the site of the cafeteria, he had a tropical fruit salad for breakfast, in honour of the new resort, and headed out for a walk on the beach. He had a spring in his step as he walked. Despite almost a week of exploring, he hadn't discovered anything around the Dude Ranch that would help them escape, and he hoped that this new location would provide more clues to the nature of the Planet and new ideas for escape. Plus, there was just something so beautiful about the way the ocean sparkled on the sand. He hoped the Doctor's TARDIS had come along.
