=== Part one === | |||
''Having felt useless at [[sea]] during [[Silurian plague|the recent plague]], [[Harry Sullivan|Harry]] has an interview with [[May (London Orbital)|Dr May]] for a job at a [[hospital]] and learns that the plague was cured by [[Third Doctor|a man]] from [[UNIT]]. He meets a bloodsoaked couple with strange ears who ask for help and disappear, after which a man with a [[sword]] comes looking for them and departs when the alarm rings. Harry heads to the address that the couple mentioned, [[17 Foxworth Drive]].'' | |||
In the [[2010s]], Harry and [[Naomi Clarke|Naomi]] are working for UNIT after the [[Fourth Doctor]] returned them to [[Earth]] more than thirty years after their own time. Harry decides to investigate the matter of [[elf]]-like creatures encountered by [[Harper (London Orbital)|Harper]] and a woman behind a vanishing wall in [[Clerkenwell tube station]], believing them to be connected to the [[massacre]] at 17 Foxworth Drive. Back in the day, Harry had reported the bodies he had found there to the authorities, but the house had completely vanished by the time they arrived and the house numbers reshuffled. He looked into it and came into contact with [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|the Brigadier]], who hired him as UNIT's [[medical officer]]. | |||
Harry and Naomi go to Clerkenwell and speak with Harper and the woman, who describe the sense of dread they felt as they approached the wall and show them the patterned [[tile]]s they found on the other side. They see the swordsman chasing the [[foreman (London Orbital)|foreman]] over a monitor and Naomi calls the [[police]] whilst Harry goes to help, but the foreman is shot in the arm with an [[arrow]]. The swordsman recognises Harry and prepares to throw him in the path of a [[train]] before the [[Seventh Doctor]] uses the [[Sigil of Tormiss]] to bind him and force him to release Harry. The swordsman gets on the moving train as it passes. | |||
The Doctor realises who he has just saved and is surprised to see how young Harry and Naomi look. Having read the UNIT files, the two of them know who he is and tell him what has happened. | |||
