The Doctor takes Nadia for a short trip in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] to arrive on board the [[Quarsian]] craft. Avoiding detection from the Quarsians, clumsy-looking (and moving), upright, green creatures with eyes extended on stalks, the Doctor uses one of the [[diamond]]s which is responding to a massive concentration of [[Zortron energy]] by glowing, to follow a trail to the engine room. The engine room stores a huge amount of Zortron Energy, powerful but bulky. It could be used to power an entire fleet of ships. The diamonds are needed by the Quarsians to harness this energy.

The Doctor climbs to the top of the energy store with a diamond big enough to block the energy inlet. This would create a dam and cause a feedback of energy and an overload to the system. The Doctor hurries back down the ladder. Nadia is waiting, looking to make a quick escape but they are apprehended by armed Quarsian guards who introduce the Doctor to his [[Destructor Unit J7|robot]] twin. The Quarsians intend to use it to infiltrate the colonists base and kill the humans...
