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 head to [[Dalanzadgad]] and are debriefed by Kate using a [[hologram projector]].

Sam is found by [[Tarkhan]] and taken to his [[camp]] where he hands over the energy unit. Removed from its [[metal]] box, it is detected by the Nestenes and Tarkhan prepares to fight them. Devlin sends Jenna to find it and cuts across her before she can ask about Osgood's claims that the Autons are [[alien]], having been told that they were built by Devlin Futuretech. | ||
' | After leaving Devlin, Kate and Josh are followed by [[Jacqui McGee|Jacqui]] and learn from her that people who have tried taking their [[printer]]s apart have been found dead. Sam contacts her and she appears in the Gobi Desert as a hologram, checking on Osgood and telling her to run from Jenna before Tarkhan's tribe begins their attack on the Autons. Sam is wounded in the fight and, to keep the Autons from falling into the hands of the authorities, Devlin orders them to kill Jenna and then themselves. A new wave of energy units begins to fall and Kate sends Sam to [[Puerto Rico]]. | ||
Osgood brings the energy unit back to the [[United Kingdom]] and Sam reports from the [[Arecibo Observatory]] that more than two-hundred units are on their way. Kate tells him to keep her posted and updates [[Geneva]], needing their permission to move in on Devlin. Josh, however, has already made plans to infiltrate Devlin Futuretech. | |||
With the energy units soon landing in remote areas where they can easily be recovered by Autons, the [[Nestene Consciousness]] tells Devlin that Earth will soon be theirs. | |||
