"It's always darkest before the storm...Dawn. Isn't that right, K9?" ~ The Fourth Doctor
Romana: Have you got a death wish?
The 4th Doctor: No, I don't think so. Don't you want to get back to Gallifrey?
Romana: You know I don't want to get back to Gallifrey.
Romana: But what are you?
Biroc: The shadow of my past and of your future.
"That's how we've all got stuck here. We are in the theoretical medium between the striations of the continuum." ~ Romana

"There's nothing beyond those mirrors for people like us, except the reflection of what's here. Only the Tharils can enter your universe that way and that's a talent they're born with.

Trivia
====================================
The script development for this serial went through two distinct phases. Initially, the project was tackled by Christopher Priest. In Priest's version of the final chapter of the E-Space trilogy, the Doctor and Romana would have exited E-Space via a political thriller involving Gallifrey. This script was called Sealed Orders, and presumably would have dealt more directly with Romana's failure to return to her home planet following her temporary assignment to find the Key to Time. After considerable time massaging this treatment, it was abandoned, to be replaced by a Steve Gallagher-penned effort called "Dream Time". Though the basic elements of this story would remain in Warrior's Gate, the final script was heavily re-written by script editor Christopher H. Bidmead and director Paul Joyce. Joyce would later claim that in fact the scripts were so much a product of his efforts that he, in fact, deserved the writing credit.
