[[NASA]], 2017, the new space probe ''Valkyrie'' is arriving at a pole on Mars. Equipped with a new camera capable of see through the ice, NASA hopes to get new pictures of the Martian landscape. To the crew's surprise, the [[Twelfth Doctor]], [[Bill Potts|Bill]] and [[Nardole]] are in the control room with them. The Doctor tells them that it's a field trip for "the kids". Using the [[psychic paper]], the Doctor convinces them that the chief gave them permission to go where they please. Bill sees a picture on the wall, asking if its Neil Armstrong - the first man on the moon. The Doctor tells her no; he was the first ''human'' male on the moon. An image from Valkyrie starts coming on the monitor, as the fuzzy image clears up, the Doctor cracks an ecstatic smile while the crew, Bill and Nardole are confused. The picture is a bunch of rocks spelling out the message "God save the Queen." | [[NASA]], [[2017]], the new space probe ''Valkyrie'' is arriving at a pole on Mars.

Having tracked the message's formation back to 1881, the Doctor takes the TARDIS to Mars to find out how it happened. Bill asks if there were humans on Mars in Victorian times, to which the Doctor says there isn't supposed to be. Nardole tracks life signs below the surface, so they park the TARDIS below ground. | Having tracked the message's formation back to 1881, the Doctor takes [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] to Mars to find out how it happened.

Exiting in sleek black spacesuits, the Doctor, Bill and Nardole explore a cavern. Seeing a flickering light ahead, they follow it to find a campfire, Taking it as a sign they can breathe down there, Bill immediately concludes that there must be air, and prepares to remove her helmet. However, the Doctor stops her, wishing to be careful. They then turn to see Nardole has already taken off his helmet; "fire equals air" Nardole states. The Doctor snaps back that a lack of caution "equals basic death" in frustrated tone. The Doctor and Bill take off their helmets, with Bill wondering how there can be oxygen underground; the Doctor states Martians were clever. | Exiting in sleek black spacesuits, the Doctor, Bill and Nardole explore a cavern.
