The Doctor tries to return [[Tegan]] to [[Heathrow Airport]], but the TARDIS lands on a technologically advanced ship. The Doctor goes out to investigate and sees a [[monoptican]] surveying them. He returns to the TARDIS and emerges with [[Adric]], [[Nyssa]] and Tegan. All four must wear helmets to breathe. The Doctor addresses the monoptican, hoping whoever is using it for surveillance will see they are friendly. He queries it on their location. A door opens. Seeing this as a friendly gesture, the Doctor goes through it, followed by Tegan.

Nyssa claims she saw a humanoid man. The Doctor doubts this until one emerges, dressed in a Greek toga, to ask them to follow him. They are led to a dining chamber and seated at a  table, to be joined by an [[Aborigine]] ([[Kurkutji]]), a [[Mayan]] ([[Villagra]]) and a Chinese mandarin ([[Lin Futu]]). They are representatives of their respective cultures; the Greek ([[Bigon]]) represents ancient [[Greece]]. The last guests to join them are Enlightenment and Persuasion, who have transformed into the humans Tegan sketched.

The TARDIS crew are reunited as guests aboard the ship. It soon becomes apparent there are four distinct human cultures represented by a small group of humans: Ancient Greeks, the leader of whom is the philosopher Bigon; Chinese Mandarins and their leader Lin Futu; Princess Villagra and representatives of the Mayan people; and Kurkutji and his tribesmen, of the Australian Aboriginal culture. The Urbankans have visited Earth, each time getting speedier in their journeys.
