In a different account, the Doctor and Susan's first destination was a [[vivarium]] beneath the surface of the Moon. Before walking outside, they were confronted by Quadrigger [[Stoyn]], who had become an unwitting passenger and had part of his face burned when the TARDIS took off. Stoyn's job was to take apart the TARDIS' engines before it was sent to be vaporised, but the TARDIS had run out of power, stranding them. The Doctor took the [[dematerialisation circuit]] so Stoyn wouldn't leave them behind and they explored the strange location. The Doctor, Susan and Stoyn realised they were in a massive cavern filled with vivariums carefully-preserved specimens. The [[Archaeon]]s had been seeding primitive planets such as the [[Earth]] with life by firing red lightning from the Moon, creating an established order out of the chaos and nurturing the early life forms under controlled conditions. | In a different account, the Doctor and Susan's first destination was a [[vivarium]] beneath the surface of the Moon.

While checking to see if the TARDIS was a threat, the Archaeons began taking it apart. They took the TARDIS' [[temporal stasis capacitor]] while it was still attached to the power source. This caused the [[stasis field]] to breach, freezing the Doctor, Susan, Stoyn and the Archaeons in time, allowing the TARDIS to recharge itself. 450 million years later, [[human]]s had evolved on the Earth until they established a lunar colony, [[Giant Leap Base]]. A group of humans from Giant Leap Base broke the stasis field, taking the Doctor and Susan on board their [[Small Step Four|lunar rover]], where they came to. According to this account, the Doctor and Susan learnt about the Earth's history through a "[[first contact]] induction video" Susan had been provided while on board the rover. | While checking to see if the TARDIS was a threat, the Archaeons began taking it apart.

With the dematerialisation circuit still in the Doctor's possession, the Archaeons had sent [[nematode]]s, which didn't affect the Time Lords, to kill all of the humans on the rover. When the Archaeons found the life they had "seeded" had become disorderly and "run rampant", no longer matching their carefully-planned vision, they "purged" the humans on the lunar base and on the Earth with [[lightning]]. The Doctor, who was blamed for the disruption of the Archaeons' experiments, was brought back to the cavern. Meanwhile, the humans retaliated against the Archaeons with [[missile]]s. After the Doctor went inside the TARDIS, evading the distracted Archaeons, Stoyn tried taking Susan with him, but she refused and ran inside the TARDIS. With the dematerialisation circuit in place, the Doctor and Susan left without Stoyn, as the Doctor felt that he was just as willing to abandon them. Another barrage of missiles breached the [[atmosphere]] of the Archaeons' cavern, destroying their weaponry; the Archaeons were pulled outside, though Susan saw Stoyn struggle to reach the rover. Afterwards, the Doctor continuously watched the video about the Earth's history and evolution inside the TARDIS, marvelling at the planet's abundance.
