=== Part one ===

While doing some sorting in [[TARDIS library|the TARDIS library]], [[Ace]] finds some books from the library at [[Kar-Charrat]], which is widely regarded as one of the [[Wonders of the Universe|wonders of the universe]], and is said to hold all the knowledge of every civilised world. It's a fanciful claim, but [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] takes it seriously enough; and he determines to return the books and own up to having unintentionally removed them—it's not a lending library, after all. Meanwhile, on Kar-Charrat an expedition of four individuals led by [[Bev Tarrant]] is exploring a [[ziggurat]] of more than a thousand years in age, hidden in the rain forest and the perpetual rain. The expedition—actually a mission of theft, aiming to steal the entire ziggurat—is cut down by a mysterious assailant. As Bev, the only survivor, crawls away, odd voices note that her now-dead partner Rappell no longer needs his body—but someone else does.
