The Hand of Fear (TV story): Difference between revisions

It seems they are waiting in vain, as nothing happens. The Doctor enters the reactor chamber where the level of radiation is, surprisingly, still normal. He explains that sort of 'unexplosion' happened. They close the reactor core and hurry out as Watson ordered an [[RAF]] strike to destroy the hand and the reactor. The missiles' impact however have no effect because the hand absorbed all the energy. The nuclear missiles and the full power of the reactor are enough to complete the regeneration of Eldrad.  

Crystalline, [[silicon]]-based and female, she tells the story of how she created the [[spatial barrier]]s that let Kastria thrive, but in an interstellar war the barriers were destroyed and she was disgraced and condemned. Eldrad persuades the Doctor to return her to Kastria so she can save her people; he agrees on the condition that they travel to Kastria in the present, a hundred fifty million years after she left.  

Immediately afterwards, Watson arrives and attempts to attack Eldrad, firing a gun at her with no effect. She immediately retaliates and means to kill him, but is persuaded otherwise by the Doctor. Leaving Watson to work on getting Nunton back to normal, the Doctor, Sarah and Eldrad return to the quarry where the TARDIS landed, and depart for Kastria.
