Synopsis

In the first of this two-part adventure, Sarah Jane and the gang face the most dangerous day of their lives, as the rhino-like Judoon return. When prisoner Androvax the Destroyer crash-lands on Earth, a Veil is set free and starts to turn Earth's technology against itself. And his next intended victim is Sarah Jane.

As the Judoon fleet approaches Earth, it's a race against time to stop Androvax. But with Genetech's technology on the rampage, and Rani's parents taken prisoner, can anything stop the Army of the Infinitesimal?

The gang go to investigate after talking with Mr. Smith, discovering that the "meteor" was really a Judoon ship, that had released a lifepod before it crashed, containing a Judoon and its prisoner. The prisoner named Androvax escapes and, using his ability as a Veil lifeform, hides inside a young girl's body, having placed her mother in a trance state. The gang, after receiving the background on the crash from Captain Tybo, hear the scream which Sarah Jane and Clyde investigate, while Luke and Rani guard the Captain. After receiving a booklet from Sarah Jane about the company "Genetic Systems", Gita decides to leave some plants inside the building, bringing Haresh along with her.
