Summary

The Doctor discovers on the inhospitable and hostile terrain of Ollendorf 2 the remains of a Dalek and, in a cave, two human skeletons which have lain there for centuries. He wonders what brought the two men to this world. An account follows, told by space geologist Joel Kendon, describing the Halldon scientists' experiment. In it they transplanted primitive humans to the planet Ameron. The scientists artificially accelerated the humans evolution and in so doing created the Daleks.

Continuity

  • Neither the Doctor nor his companions (who remain in the TARDIS) are identified in this story. However, since it was published at around the time that The Three Doctors was broadcast, it is probably the Third Doctor. The only times that he had more than one companion was when he travelled with Jo Grant and Liz Shaw (PDA: The Wages of Sin) and with Jo and Mike Yates (MA: Speed of Flight). Since it is implied that Jo and Mike have a series of adventures with the Doctor, it is more likely the latter pairing.
