INTRODUCTION TO THE STORY

Dr Tyler reclaims his cosmic ray measuring device from a nature reserve. Of Hollis, the man who contacted him about the device, there is no sign. Going to UNIT, Tyler shows the Doctor some images collected by the device. The images show what the Doctor refers to as "compressed light", a beam which seems to be travelling faster than light and is directed at Earth. Investigating the site where the device landed the Doctor discovers traces of anti-matter. He and Jo return to UNIT where they are attacked by an energy creature. They manage to get back to the lab only to discover that Tyler has also vanished and his device has now collected an image of Hollis trapped in the beam of compressed light.

The energy creature attacks again forcing the Doctor, Jo and Benton to take refuge in the TARDIS. Trapped, the Doctor reluctantly asks his people, the Time Lords, for help. However, the Time Lords are also under attack. A black hole, the source of the compressed light, is draining their power reserves. Unable to send any of their number to assist the Doctor a decision is made to allow the Doctor to help himself, literally.

The 2nd Doctor arrives in the TARDIS and explains the situation facing the Time Lords. The two Doctors cannot agree on a way to sort out the problem. Seeing this, the Time Lords use what little energy remains to send the 1st Doctor along. Due to the low energy reservse the 1st Doctor can only advise his other selves. Now the three Doctors must unite to solve the mystery of the compressed light and its apparant actions against the Time Lords.
