However the institute had been infiltrated by a [[Slitheen]], [[Korst Gogg Thek Lutiven-Day Slitheen]], who was manipulating the researchers so that the headset could be used for destruction. | ||

[[Sarah Jane Smith]] broke into the institute and stole a headset for [[Mr Smith]] to examine. Korst and two other Slitheen, working in collusion with Mr Smith, took [[Luke Smith]] hostage and wired him into the stolen headset. The resultant telekinetic power nearly brought [[The Moon]] into a collision course with the [[Earth]], but disaster was finally averted by Mr Smith, whom Sarah Jane had disabled with a virus and reprogrammed.

Another ongoing project from the institute was the research of [[meteorite]]s for signs of alien life. They had found some clues in martian meteorites and in [[2009]] had the [[Weserbergland Meteorite]] on loan for research. This allowed the entity known as the [[Pied Piper]] to come to [[London]].
