Upon reaching the monastery, the Doctor experiences a "mental twinge," theorising that someone is trying to make telepathic contact. Aware of the approaching strangers, Raspak gathers the guards and takes the Doctor and Pendle to the Abbot, while Constance and Asta (who the Doctor claims are boys) are locked in a cell. In the presence of Abbot Tanapal, Pendle claims to be merchants but the Doctor gets straight to the point and asks the Abbot if he knows about a signal being broadcast, to which the Abbot denies. They are locked in the cell, and the Abbot informs Raspak that the strangers are from another world, and to search the moors for their craft. | Upon reaching the monastery, the Doctor experiences a "mental twinge," theorising that someone is trying to make telepathic contact.

The cell door is then unlocked and Boswyck enters, freeing them. He explains that during the Autumn harvest, a "star" crashed nearby and the Brotherhood, dedicated to all life, went out to see if they could help the survivors. They nursed some and brought their ship back to the monastery, but now he fears the Abbot is under their influence. He has prayed for divine help, and he believes the visitors are that help. | ||
Leaving the cell, they overhear that the Assessors' ship has been captured, which would pose a great threat should they access the ship's technology. Boswyck bids Rosco to help the Doctor and Pendle get to the ship while he takes Constance and Asta to investigate the survivors. Inside their chamber, Constance can just see what the creatures look like when another enters the room, and Asta is immediately overcome with fear: the creature is a [[Dalek]] and it informs them they are prisoners. | Leaving the cell, they overhear that the Assessors' ship has been captured, which would pose a great threat should they access the ship's technology.

Meanwhile, the Doctor, Pendle, and Rosco arrive at the spaceship to find a blacksmith hammering the hull. An alarm sounds and the Doctor quickly alerts them that the fuel lines could rupture. Raspak takes him and Pendle to the Abbot, whom the Doctor tries to reason with, experiencing another mental twinge; for a moment, the Abbot was trying to tell him something. But then he orders the two intruders to be taken to the chapel. Boswyck, Constance, and Asta reach the chapel and see that the Brotherhood gives blood for the Daleks' nutrients. The Doctor and Pendle are brought in, but before they can be drained, the others create a distraction and save them, informing them the aliens who crashlanded are Daleks. | Meanwhile, the Doctor, Pendle, and Rosco arrive at the spaceship to find a blacksmith hammering the hull.

The TARDIS is found and brought to the Abbot, who recognizes it and realizes who the Doctor is. He orders the guards to find them and two Daleks serve as reinforcements. Using secret tunnels, Boswyck leads the others towards the Daleks' workshop, hiding from two Daleks along the way. The creatures discuss their orders from the [[Black Dalek]], pointing out that production on casings for the other Daleks will be slowed. The Doctor finds their saucer's [[black box]] turned into a transmitter in the workshop, and learns that the specialized force were part of the [[Emperor's Personal Guard]], on their way to [[Skaro]] from invading [[Kantra]]. Several Brothers enter, but they do not notice the intruders. They focus only on their work and don't speak of it, because their [[ | The TARDIS is found and brought to the Abbot, who recognizes it and realizes who the Doctor is.

While the guards pursue a ringing bell, the Abbot meets the Doctor, who reveals the Black Dalek behind his throne. He tries to reason with the Abbot that he's being controlled by the Daleks, but the Black Dalek explains the truth: its and the Abbot's minds are working in [[symbiosis]], and soon the mind of the Daleks will be spread to every being in the galaxy, and beyond to the universe! | While the guards pursue a ringing bell, the Abbot meets the Doctor, who reveals the Black Dalek behind his throne.
