STORY:

The TARDIS materialises on the planet Kembel several months after the death of Marc Cory. There the Doctor finds a new expedition this time lead by Bret Vyon. The Doctor finds Cory's recording, and he and Bret Vyon try to warn Earth of the impending Dalek attack.

The Guardian of the Solar System, Mavic Chen, whom the Doctor and Vyon warn, is in fact a traitor in leage with the Daleks. The Daleks have a devastating weapon - the time destructor. It needs a taranium core to operate, which the Doctor manages to steal.

Chen dispatches Space Security Agent Sara Kingdom after Bret Vyon and the Doctor. Kingdom is the brother of Vyon, but unaware of Chen's treachery and believing Vyon to be a criminal she kills him.

The Daleks pursue the Doctor through time. The Doctor turns the time destructor against the Daleks, annihilating them - and also Sara Kingdom.
