[[File:Master_TARDIS.jpg|thumb|left|140px|The Master's TARDIS arrives on Earth...]]Circus manager Luigi Rossini sees a horsebox materialize in the field near the circus tent. Out steps [[the Master]], who quickly overpowers him via hypnosis. He enlists Rossini into helping him steal a [[Nestene]] meteorite (leftover from [[Spearhead from Space|the previous invasion]]) from a nearby museum. [[Liz Shaw]] having returned to Cambridge, [[the Brigadier]] assigns [[UNIT]] trainee [[Jo Grant]] to be [[Third Doctor|the Doctor]]'s new assistant. She immediately makes a bad first impression when she extinguishes a small fire on the Doctor's lab bench, destroying the Doctor's dematerialization circuit. Dismayed at her lack of qualifications, he attempts to fire her but cannot bring himself to do so. The Master appears at a deep space radio telescope, overpowering Professor George Phillips and his assistant Goodge. As Goodge is eating his lunch, the Master appears behind him. He points his weapon at Goodge and then shrinks him. He then connects the Nestene meteorite to the telescope and transmits a signal. Professor Phillips enters and encounters the Master, but is hpynotisted by him. | [[File:Master_TARDIS.jpg|thumb|left|140px|The Master's TARDIS arrives on Earth...]]Circus manager Luigi Rossini sees a horsebox materialize in the field near the circus tent.

[[File:Time_Lord_Messenger_(Terror_of_the_Autons).jpg|thumb|left|140px|The Time Lord warns the Doctor about the Master...]] Investigating the theft of the meteorite and the disappearance of the scientists, the Doctor arrives at the radio telescope. Outside the control tower, a [[Time Lord]] arrives, 'inconspicuously' dressed in a dark suit and bowler hat while hovering in the air, to warn the Doctor of the Master's arrival on Earth, and alerts him to a booby trap inside. Disarming it, he opens Goodge's lunchbox to find his shrunken corpse inside. At a small local plastics factory, production manager James McDermott confronts the owner, young Rex Farrel, about the mysterious Colonel Masters and the new line of products he has commissioned them into producing. The Doctor correctly surmises that the Master is in league with the Nestenes, and obtains a list of nearby plastic factories. Jo, against the Doctor's will, goes off to investigate, and arrives at the Farrel factory. She is quickly discovered by the Master and hypnotized. She returns to UNIT with a crate that apparently once contained the Nestene meteorite, but as she begins to open it the Doctor quickly realises that it's a bomb. The Doctor shouts for someone to stop her, but Jo is determined to open the crate. | <p style="text-align:center">[[File:Time_Lord_Messenger_(Terror_of_the_Autons).jpg|thumb|left|140px|The Time Lord warns the Doctor about the Master...]] Investigating the theft of the meteorite and the disappearance of the scientists, the Doctor arrives at the radio telescope.
