A 12 million-year-old human skull has been discovered by archaeologists and is 
being used by Professor Fendelman in his Time Scanner experiments at Fetch 
Priory on contemporary Earth. Drawn by the operation of the Scanner, the Doctor 
arrives as the experiments reach a peak. A strange force is called into 
existence when the Scanner operates, and a hiker has been killed in the woods 
as well as a security guard at the house which is being used as a base by the 
scientists.

One of the scientists, Thea Ransome, is also affected. The skull is exerting an 
influence over her mind and each time the Scanner operates, the skull glows 
with power as the connection is strengthened...
