Suddenly they find themselves in orbit of [[Traken]], and the figure of an elderly man on a throne appears within the console room. The Doctor identifies him as the [[Keeper of Traken]]. [[Keeper (The Keeper of Traken)|The Keeper]] reveals that he will soon die and have to pass on his powers to a successor. He asks the Doctor to come to Traken but warns him of great danger. On the scanner, the Keeper reveals images of Traken and of the arrival of an evil creature known as a [[Melkur]] years ago. The creature's baleful influence cannot go beyond the groves, and it becomes calcified. A young [[Trakenite]] woman called [[Kassia]] is seen pitying the Melkur, leaving a bunch of flowers at its feet and saying she will come and visit it again soon. | [[File:Traken_part1.JPG|thumb|left|[[the Doctor's TARDIS|The TARDIS]] receives a visitor - [[Keeper (The Keeper of Traken)|the Keeper]].]]In [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Adric]] have arrived back in [[N-Space]] near the star [[Mettula Orionsis]], home to the [[Traken Union]], famous for its universal harmony and where evil is non-existant.
