While in [[sector 5]], Sorenson and Baldwin came across a vein with over seventy percent purity. The professor was unwilling to leave, despite the approach of nightfall, lest the vein should vanish again. At the expedition base, [[Braun]] was killed by the [[anti-matter creature]].

The [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] came to Zeta Minor in response to this signal, landing shortly before a Morestran [[probe ship]] began orbiting the planet.

Sarah soon found the planet to be having a strange effect upon and felt as if she "was being drawn from her body". Finding the desiccated corpse of Braun, the product of the anti-matter creature, the Doctor thought they must have landed months too late. | Sarah soon found the planet to be having a strange effect upon and felt as if she "was being drawn from her body".
