On [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]]'s orders, Major [[Whitaker (The Fires Down Below)|Whitaker]] and her [[UNIT]] team inspect caverns with Dr [[Iskander]] to find the cause of sudden seismic activity. They find [[Dominator]] [[Haag]] and his [[Quark]]s on a quest to use the Earth's core as a power source for the Dominators' star fleet. Using the Dominators' own equipment, Dr Iskander and the UNIT team ensure the spacecraft, the Dominator and the Quarks are destroyed in a [[Volcano|volcanic eruption]]. | On [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]]'s orders, Major [[Whitaker (The Fires Down Below)|Whitaker]] and her [[UNIT]] team inspect caverns with Dr [[Iskander]] to find the cause of sudden seismic activity.

It was not until the television story ''[[Mawdryn Undead]]'' that suggestions began to arise that the UNIT years may have been set more closely to their original air-date. As no reference is made into the story of any aspect of the UNIT years other than [[the Brigadier]] existing, the story being set in the 1980s does not actually cause troubles with the [[UNIT dating controversy]]. | ||
