One hundred and fifty million years ago on the planet [[Kastria]], a traitor named [[Eldrad]] is sentenced to death for crimes including the destruction of the barriers that kept the solar winds at bay.
One hundred and fifty million years ago on the planet [[Kastria]], a traitor named [[Eldrad]] is sentenced to death for crimes including the destruction of the barriers that kept the [[solar wind]]s at bay.


Placed into a capsule and shot into space, Eldrad awaits obliteration. The capsule is detonated prematurely, despite the risk of particle survival. Conditions are deteriorating rapidly on Kastria. The remaining Kastrians await their fate on the desolate planet.

The [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] arrive in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] in a modern-day [[quarry]] on [[Earth]] and are caught immediately in a quarrying explosion. The Doctor is slightly injured. Sarah is found unconscious in the rubble, clutching a fossilised hand. She is taken to a local [[hospital]].
The [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] arrive in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] in a modern-day [[quarry]] on [[Earth]] and are caught immediately in a quarrying explosion. The Doctor is slightly injured. Sarah is found unconscious in the rubble, clutching a [[fossil]]ised hand. She is taken to a local [[hospital]].


The hand is examined. Based on the strata of the rock in which it was found, it is one hundred fifty million years old. Pathologist Dr [[Carter (The Hand of Fear)|Carter]] dismisses these findings as ridiculous. Examining a sliver of the hand under an electron microscope, the Doctor observes a helix similar to DNA. The minuscule radiation of the microscope causes the sample to grow. The Doctor realises that this fossil might actually contain vestiges of life.

Sarah awakens in her hospital bed, holding a crystalline ring that slipped from the hand. The ring begins to pulse with energy. Sarah hears a voice in her head: "Eldrad must live". She steals the hand and flees the hospital, knocking out Carter with a flash from the ring. She heads for the nearest nuclear reactor, the [[Nunton Experimental Complex|Nunton Complex]]. With the aid of the ring, Sarah overpowers guards and workmen and enters the reactor room. She watches as the hand absorbs radiation, regenerates its missing finger and begins to move.
