[[Tenth Doctor|The Doctor]] lands on the [[Moon]] in 2010. As he steps out he remarks "Not where I expected, I wonder what drew me off-course?" indicating that he meant to land on [[Earth]]. He is guided downstairs into a research facility beneath the lunar surface. He is greeted by [[Dollund|Professor Dollund]] and [[Roberta Goodman]], using the psychic paper to pass as Inspector Smith from the Bureau of Alien Technology. Goodman explains that they are running Survey 4: a mission, started by the 'big industries', to discover natural resources on the Moon as the Earth has been "depleted".

As the Doctor is led into the mining room, [[Clinton Seymour]] announces news that their drill has found a power source deep underground. | ||
The team of 3 begin the descent into the new tunnels to locate the power source. There is a nod to the Doctor's elevator trip in ''[[The Impossible Planet (TV story)|The Impossible Planet]]'' during a scene in which the team are squished into a small mine elevator. Upon entering the chasm, Professor Dollund almost falls into a chasm after miscalculating the load-bearing ability of a rock under Earth gravity. They are greeted in the new cavern by [[Lisa Summerton]] and [[Henderson (The Dust of Ages)|Henderson]], two archaeologists. Tracing the energy signal to the wall, the Doctor begins to scoop away at the packed dust. It's not long before he discovers a stone hand - the source of the power. | The team of 3 begin the descent into the new tunnels to locate the power source.
