Summary
The Doctor and Sarah materialises on Vortis, where a survey team of Menoptera has disappeared while investigating the appearance of strange energy emissions. The only survivor, the wingless Jresta, takes the Doctor and Sarah to a large crystal in a forest clearing, but can’t remember what happened after her team discovered it. A follow-up expedition led by the hostile Vursus arrives, and he orders one of his team to break off part of the crystal for analysis, ignoring the warnings of the wingless Jresta and the alien Doctor and Sarah. The crystal glows with light which mesmerises the Menoptera and causes them to fly into the energy web, where they are consumed; Jresta only survived because she was unable to fly. The Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to generate a resonance pattern which shatters the crystalline entity, saving Vortis once again.
