[[Sam Bishop|Lieutenant Sam Bishop]] is finishing an assignment in [[Bangkok]] when he receives a call from [[Kate Stewart]]. She has a new job for him — hunt for a stray [[Nestene Consciousness|Nestene]] energy unit that has come down somewhere in the [[Gobi Desert|Gobi desert]]. | |||
In [[Mongolia]], | In [[Mongolia]], Sam is joined by [[Petronella Osgood|Osgood]] and they set off into the Gobi. But there are [[Auton]]s in this desert. They are also looking for the [[energy unit]], and they're ready to kill anyone who comes into contact with it. | ||
Back in [[London]], Kate is becoming suspicious of [[Simon Devlin]]'s company, and decides to pay him a visit. | Back in [[London]], Kate is becoming suspicious of [[Simon Devlin]]'s company, and decides to pay him a visit. | ||

''to be | In [[Bangkok]], [[Sam Bishop|Sam]] finds a woman who has been infected and mutated by an [[alien]] [[crystal]] and uses a [[stun net]] to capture her after she becomes hostile. After ordering [[UNIT]] to lock the crystal away and transport the woman to [[UNIT Group 6|Group 6]] in [[Tokyo]], he receives a call from [[Kate Stewart|Kate]] telling him to travel to [[Mongolia]] to recover a [[Nestene Consciousness|Nestene]] [[energy unit]] which fell to the [[Gobi Desert]] after hitting a [[satellite]]. Instead of sending [[Petronella Osgood|Osgood]] to [[Africa]] to assist the tracking teams there, Kate sends her to join Sam. | ||
The [[Nestene Consciousness]] is concerned about the lost energy unit and tells [[Simon Devlin|Devlin]] that, if UNIT reach it first, their plans must be accelerated. Devlin, however, has already made arrangements for its recovery. | |||
Osgood and Sam head to [[Dalanzadgad]] and are debriefed by Kate using a [[hologram projector]]. Josh informs Kate that [[Eskdale Petrachemicals|a discreetly-purchased subsidiary]] of [[Devlin Futuretech]] has increased its purchase of [[crude oil]] by over 500% in the last year and it seems likely that Devlin is working with the Nestenes. Kate visits him and asks about his disappearance last year, learning that he suffered from [[fibrous dysplasia]] and has had his [[skull]] replaced with a [[plastic]] one. He reveals that he knows about UNIT and warns her not to interfere with his business given his connections. | |||
Osgood and Sam find the crater, but the energy unit is missing and, after knocking Sam out, [[Jenna Gold]] kidnaps Osgood. Sam is found by [[Tarkhan]] and taken to his [[camp]] where his [[tribe]] have the energy unit. | |||
