[[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] interrupts [[Adric]] whilst he is reading ''[[Dracula (book)|Dracula]]'' in [[Adric's TARDIS bedroom|his bedroom]] and, given [[Fifth Doctor|the Doctor]]'s lack of success, gets him to try flying [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] to [[Heathrow Airport|Heathrow]]. However, [[Fifth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Nyssa]] have been doing repairs which involved disabling the [[chrono-compensator]], causing Adric to disappear after hearing a [[voice]] mention [[Zaltys]]. The Doctor uses the [[telepathic circuits]] to track him down, with Tegan disappearing as well on the way. | |||
When the Doctor and Nyssa arrive on Zaltys, they meet [[Sable]], who accuses them of being after the [[planet]]'s [[treasure]]s and insists that they accompany her. She explains that Zaltys has been under [[quarantine]] since communication from the planet suddenly ceased seven [[month]]s ago and points out a possible entrance to their underground city. Sable's partner, [[Siobhan (Zaltys)|Siobhan]], attempts to give her a warning and proceeds to abandon her, flying away in their [[spaceship]] once she removes her [[helmet]] and breathes the [[air]]. | |||
Adric appears in a [[corridor]] whilst Tegan appears in a locked room. Using an [[ion bonder]] from the TARDIS, Tegan escapes the room and is watched by [[Clarimonde]], who tells her that her people are enemies of the Doctor and encountered [[Third Doctor|him]] when he was travelling with [[Jo Grant]]. Clarimonde gets her to open a [[hatch]] containing the body of a woman, after which a creature approaches her and she tells it to get back. | |||
