Having detected a dimensional anomaly, the Doctor materialises the TARDIS on a rapidly deteriorating ship. Although there is seemingly no atmosphere, he and his companions are nevertheless able to breathe. Shortly after their arrival, Nyssa sees a figure moving in her peripheral vision, which she soon discovers is a Dar Trader. She describes them as producing a smell similar to <nowiki>[[ammonia]]</nowiki>. The Doctor has never previously heard of the Dar Traders. One of them claims that the four of them have "shifting death signatures. The Dar Traders, who not only trade but consume the dead, have no jurisdiction over the living.

After the structure of the ship further destabilises, the corridor in which the Doctor, his companions and the Dar Traders are standing splits in two. While Adric, Nyssa, Tegan and one of the Dar Traders remain in the half of the corridor which is still connected to the main body of the ship, the Doctor ends up on the other half, although he has access to the TARDIS. The second Dar Trader is blown out into space. Given the unstable nature of the ship, the surviving Dar Trader suggests that he, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan retreat to his vessel.
