''to be | [[Unbound Doctor|The Doctor]] returns to his duties as [[Ruler of the Universe|President of the Universe]] but soon leaves again when [[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]] calls, telling him that she is bored. He takes a commercial [[spacecraft]] to [[Merin (planet)|Merin]] where he sent Benny to find the [[Apocalypse Clock (Unbound Universe)|Apocalypse Clock]] to save [[Unbound Universe|the universe]] and tries to leave after a brief conversation with her so that he can get back to his paperwork. She makes him stay, however, and takes him to the dig by [[hot air balloon]]. | ||
A group of chanting traditionalist [[Merin (species)|Merin]] led by [[Joto (Unbound Universe)|Joto]] protest the unearthing of [[City of Merin|an ancient city]] due to their belief that the [[archaeologist]]s have disturbed their earth [[god]]s and will bring destruction. Benny introduces the Doctor to their guide, [[Chamu (Unbound Universe)|Chamu]], and gets him to help dig for the Clock, the existence of which the Doctor is sceptical despite having sent Benny here. Whilst they are able to detect that something is buried there, sometimes causing [[vision]]s of the ancient dead, they cannot correctly identify what it is. | |||
A hooded man claiming to represent the True Saviour asks [[Leonard (Unbound Universe)|Leonard]], one of the Doctor's members of staff, if he is happy with the Doctor as President. Leonard is not interested in talking to him and leaves. | |||
Benny sees what she initially believes is a vision of a walking [[skeleton]] telling her that the dead will return. She runs into Joto, who shows her that one of the [[Jek]]s has torn itself apart with its [[tooth|teeth]] and [[claw]]s. She tells Chamu what she has seen and tries to tell the Doctor, but he is called away by work. | |||
