Arriving sometime in the [[25th century]] but not at a holographic safari park as expected, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald|Clara]] find themselves in the path of a rampaging giant rodent. As the excited rodent passes they are called out of the tunnel by an astronaut part of a team digging the asteroid for valuable rocks and minerals. The rodents are referred to as “Mole monsters” and only recently have they turned crazy and the tunnels declared unsafe for civilians.

The Doctor suspects that the noise from the drilling may be disturbing them and when the opportunity presents itself, both Clara and the Doctor hitch a ride on one of the moles back and is taken down through the tunnels to an idyllic underground cavern. Realising the moles are peaceful creatures simply agitated by the drilling which has driven them to tunnel up to the surface.

* [[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]] apparently promised [[Clara Oswald|Clara]] no mud on this trip  - but not since ''[[The Planet That Went Backwards (comic story)|The Planet That Went Backwards]]'' has Clara been caked in mud. A bit of rain and some sand in the dessert last time maybe - but it didn't show!
