TV 21 "draws back the curtain of time" to 30 January 2065. On that day, their special correspondent for Marineville reports that the World Aquanaut Security Patrol vessel Stingray has been attacked by a Titan Terror Fish, prompting Commander Shore to lauch an air search. In Space City, Commander Zero holds a press conference which reveals that Fireball XL5 has discovered and landed on an unknown asteroid in hyperspace. Finally, the fact the Dalek City on Skaro lies in ruin is front page news following its destruction after the accidental explosion of a neutron bomb. It is a catastrophe which reportedly leaves War Lord Zolfian and scientist Yarvelling as the only surviving members of their species.
