Twin novices Rosco and Gabber sneak around their monastery, trying to find what is kept hidden. Rosco is too scared, so Gabber enters the dark secret room, screams, and then runs out. Pleading with him for answers, Rosco finds that Gabber cannot speak. | |||
The Doctor and Constance materialize on a hill beside a herd of [[Brandelak]] on the planet [[Strellin]], on their way to visit the [[Brotherhood of the Black Petal]]. They are accosted by Assessor Pendle and Probationary Assessor Asta, who berate them for arriving on a Grade Three Planet, a medival society with no knowledge of other worlds. Pendle and Asta themselves are investigating a strange signal being transmitted from the monastery. The four make their way there while observed by Rosco and Gabber, who reach the monastery before them and inform Brother Boswyck of the "demons," although he assures the travelers are just strangers. | |||
Upon reaching the monastery, the Doctor experiences a "mental twinge," theorising that someone is trying to make telepathic contact. Aware of the approaching strangers, Raspak gathers the guards and takes the Doctor and Pendle to the Abbot, while Constance and Asta (who the Doctor claims are boys) are locked in a cell. In the presence of Abbot Tanapal, Pendle claims to be merchants but the Doctor gets straight to the point and asks the Abbot if he knows about a signal being broadcast, to which the Abbot denies. They are locked in the cell, and the Abbot informs Raspak that the strangers are from another world, and to search the moors for their craft. | |||
The four visitors now together in the cells, the Doctor remarks that both the Abbot and guard are aware of something with the signal. The cell door is then unlocked and Boswyck enters, freeing them. He explains that during the Autumn harvest, a "star" crashed nearby and the Brotherhood, dedicated to all life, went out to see if they could help the survivors. They nursed some and brought their ship back to the monastery, but now he fears the Abbot is under their influence. He has prayed for divine help, and he believes the visitors are that help. | |||
Leaving the cell, they overhear that the Assessors' ship has been captured, which would pose a great threat should they access the ship's technology. Boswyck bids Rosco to help the Doctor and Pendle get to the ship while he takes Constance and Asta to investigate the survivors. Inside their chamber, Constance can just see what the creatures look like when another enters the room, and Asta is immediately overcome with fear: the creature is a [[Dalek]] and it informs them they are prisoners. | |||
