Summary
While exploring the mysteries of the Martian Sphinx, the Doctor, Louise and Susan are captured by Daleks who have moved into the Sol system, closer to Earth. The Doctor and Susan escape with the help of the native Martians and are taken to a city beneath the Sphinx where the Doctor activates a dormant fighting robot lying under the Sphinx itself. As the Doctor rescues Louise from the Daleks (who have learnt about the Doctors TARDIS), the robot attacks and destroys the Daleks' Martian base. This only delays their future attack on 'The Blue Planet'.
Characters
Louise, niece of the traveller in time and space known as Dr. Who. A Dalek scan reveals her to be human. She was successfully rescued by Dr. Who from the Dalek saucer as it prepared to leave Mars returning to Skaro before being destroyed by the Martian Spinx.
Mars, commonly known as the red planet, in the Sol System. Home to one of the natural wonder of the universe, the Mars Bubble a hundred-mile wide atmospheric pocket capable of sustaining life. Located within the bubble live the surviving native Matians and the Martian Spinx.
Martians (native), small telepathic hairless humanoid creatures with large eyes, no mouth or nose.Driven to live in the underground canal and cave systems by the Devastation many died along with an understanding of their former technology which was left abandoned or unused (e.g. The Martian Spinx)
Martian Spinx is the ultimate weapon of war, a giant robot with formidable fire power which lay dormant beneath the surface, except its face, for many generations. It was regarded as a curiosity for many generations until revived by Dr.Who who interpreted a series of carved hieroglyphs in the underground cave system as activation codes for the robot which was reactivated in time to destroy the Daleks who were planning to use the planet as a launch base in an attack on the Blue Planet (aka Earth).
Susan, grand-daughter of the traveller in time and space known as Dr. Who. She helped revive the Martian Spinx with her understanding of the hieroglyphs found in the cave system below the surface of the planet.
