Dynes first met the [[Fifth Doctor]] and [[Peri Brown|Peri]] when they became involved in the search for the legendary treasure of [[Rovan Cartovall]], which had been missing for five thousand years. Dynes followed the [[Marquis de Rosscarrino]] and his niece [[Arnella]], accompanied by Professor [[Thorrin]] and his assistant [[Willis Brockwell]], to the planet [[Gelsandor]], where it was believed the treasure was hidden. Dynes was allowed to record the others as they went on a quest to prove their worthiness to receive the treasure, the [[Gelsandoran]]s wishing to observe them to better understand humanity. At one point during the quest, when Peri was taken as a hostage to ensure the Doctor's cooperation, Dynes actually suggested that there were places where footage of Peri's torture could sell well, although Peri was able to escape that by arguing that they needed the Doctor's cooperation. At the quest's end, Dynes was left alone on the planet as the others either died or left on their own, but when he tried to check his cameras, he discovered that the films had been removed; the Gelsandorans had allowed him to observe the hunt, but not to broadcast it for entertainment. Dynes contemplated arranging for a new group to take the quest with more discreet cameras that couldn't be wiped because they weren't known about, but the Gelsandorans had also edited both the ship's records and Dynes' own memory so that he couldn't recall the planet's exact coordinates, preventing him from trying such a scheme.
