The Vaults of Osiris (audio story)
The Vaults of Osiris was the second story in The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield box set The Triumph of Sutekh.
Publisher's summary
Egypt in 2015 is an unsettled place. The trade in stolen antiquities is a murky one, and it's about to get a whole lot worse, as an ancient and terrible force enters the market.
Plot
The Doctor and Ace arrive at Sutekh's tomb in Egypt in 1941 just before a group of German soldiers, many of whom are killed when the Doctor activates a Servicer with his sonic screwdriver to open the door to the tomb. They find a secondary Eye of Horus inside and, when the Doctor touches it, there is a flash and he disappears.
Benny and Ace leave Mars in the TARDIS and arrive in Sutekh's tomb in 2015, several decades later than intended. They flee from a Servicer and, upon finding that the Eye of Horus is missing, they leave and find Rashidi working at the nearby coffee shop. Rashidi's granddaughter, Alozza, tells them that the Germans took the Eye but that it has since been returned to a museum four miles away.
