After they had lost the Storm Miner Uvanov, Toos and Poul were feted as heroes
and given rewards consummate with their ambitions. Uvanov was
angling for a post on the Board and Toos had got command of her own Storm Miner.
Poul had the best possible therapy and an undemanding job in Security.
Of them all, Uvanov appeared the most normal as he headed the mysterious Android
research team.
Toos doesn't mind androids, honest. She just won't
have them on the bridge of her Storm Miner. Fortunately, she's a good
enough captain that her crew could live with her foibles.
Poul has screaming
fits every time he sees a robot. But he's OK. Honest!
When the Doctor and Leela appear in a strange building containing a massive
number of people in suspended animation chambers, Leela reckons she can hear
the sound of fighting. The Doctor disagrees, so Leela goes off on her own while
he investigates the suspended animation chambers.
Outside, Leela is caught up in a terrorist raid and taken prisoner by the terrorists
who swore by Taren Capel, dead these past twenty years as Leela knew all too
well.
Inside, the Doctor is startled to find the suspended animation chambers suddenly
beginning to decant their contents. Those being freed proved to be very strange
and the Doctor is soon involved in a strange game of 'Simon Says' before
being liberated by Uvanov.
Unknown to Uvanov and most of the Board, there's a third group of senior
Twenty Family members raising plots in order to try and hold on to their powers
and privileges.
Unknown to all the humans, there's a robotic interest in the growing
chaos.
Can the people of Kaldor City get over the effects of this robotic rebellion,
for their society depended on the robots being peaceful and obedient to human
orders!
