Deciding to investigate Coghill's employer, Charley and Audacity go to an [[Edinburgh Power Corporation]] [[party]] with [[Archie McClellan|Captain Archie McClellan]] of the [[Scots Guard]]. Audacity meets [[Maggie MacKenzie]], an [[archaeologist]], and Charley manages to charm [[Donald Shaw|Sir Donald Shaw]] into allowing her and her friends to stay at the party despite them not having been invited. When the Doctor arrives at the party, he questions Sir Donald about the Edinburgh Power Corporation's connection to each of the deaths and decides to investigate Maggie's dig at [[Cramond]] where other [[Rome|Roman]] coins have been found. | Deciding to investigate Coghill's employer, Charley and Audacity go to an [[Edinburgh Power Corporation]] [[party]] with [[Archie McClellan|Captain Archie McClellan]] of the [[Scots Guard]].

The next day, Charley and Archie look into the [[power station]], which runs despite not seeming to receive any consignments of [[coal]] or [[wood]], and are kicked out upon being discovered by Sir Donald. Meanwhile, the Doctor and Audacity meet with Maggie in Cramond and are shown a [[Lioness (Winter of the Demon)|lioness]]-shaped [[grave]] guardian dating back to the [[Roman Empire]]. The lioness previously held a golden [[crown]] which Sir Donald, who funds the dig, has confiscated and Maggie shows her [[sketch]]es of it to the Doctor, to whom the lioness seems familiar. The crown has two engravings, with one in [[Latin]] warning that its wearer will become the body of [[Sol Invictus]], the unconquerable sun. | |||
The second engraving is in [[hieroglyph]]s which the [[translation circuit]] does not decipher. Maggie's rubbing of the hieroglyphs is inexplicably pulled towards her [[fireplace]] and singed, but the flame triggers a partial translation which shows the Doctor a glimpse of something old before the lioness comes to life and searches for the crown. | |||
