Three alien ambassadors visited [[Earth]] some time after making contact with a [[human]] exploration mission on [[Mars]], where one astronaut named [[Jim Daniels]] was accidentally killed because the ambassadors had no way of knowing their touch was fatal to humans. [[Carrington (The Ambassadors of Death)|Carrington]], the surviving [[astronaut]] from that mission, by then a high-ranking [[Great Britain|British]] army officer and head of security at Space Control, kidnapped the ambassadors. After forcing them to carry out a series of raids and murders, his organisation planned to expose their existence to the world, stirring up public opinion and forcing world governments to launch a [[nuclear]] strike against their spacecraft. This plan was defeated by the [[Third Doctor]] and the ambassadors were returned.
