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. | The hand is examined.

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. | ||
