'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was the second story in the [[Auton Trilogy]] of video dramas produced by [[BBV Productions]] in the late 90s, and a sequel to the first, ''[[Auton (home video)|Auton]]''. Like most video dramas of this era, it featured characters and concepts from ''[[Doctor Who]]'' but did not include any main characters from the series. | |||

''to be added'' | Two UNIT operatives, Mike and Dave, are travelling to dispose of some Autons; they stop. Dave gets out and investigates a noise, which turns out to be a Nestene sphere unit. This activates the Autons, which kill the men and drive off. Lockwood is shown to witness this in a dream. | ||
