of hostile lunar forest on foot. Without telling the Doctor, Turlough takes Haliwell's diary with him, to ensure that he has advance warning of any dangers to come. Despite the damage to its impeller coils, the Draco lands safely, thanks largely to the skillful piloting of helmsman Henry Stanton. However, Captain Green doesn’t seem to understand just how valuable Stanton is to the expedition, and soon demonstrates his incompetence by ordering both helmsmen to accompany a rescue expedition to the citadel while a skeleton crew remains behind to repair the Draco. The journey is just as dangerous as Stanton had feared, and when his fellow helmsman is killed by a swarm of venomous insects, Stanton insists that he be allowed to return. Green is about to place him under arrest for cowardice and mutiny, when the party is attacked by a behemoth larger than anything they have yet encountered. While fleeing from the behemoth, Green falls badly and breaks his leg, and as the behemoth approaches, Stanton inadvertently smothers Green while desperately trying to silence his cries for help. He is then forced to make his way back to the Draco alone, a dangerous journey which pushes him completely over the edge. Predators have attacked the Draco as well, and some even managed to get aboard before they were killed; nevertheless, Stanton shoots the commanding officer and orders the engineers to repair the damaged coils—or he will take off with the functioning ones, after throwing out their bodies to lighten the load. As Sinclair's party makes their way towards the citadel, they encounter a beautiful alien female trapped on a cliff. Turlough rescues her, but is unable to communicate until she touches his temples for a moment, after which she speaks perfect English. Realising that they will need help in the dangerous forest, Sinclair allows Lytalia to lead his men to her settlement, where the Phiadoran Princess Nareena and her ladies-in-waiting have been exiled following a coup on their homeworld. This is a dangerous and illegal safari park, placed on the dead satellite of a primitive world to avoid detection; when Nareena and her retinue were exiled here it was assumed that they wouldn’t last long, but they have survived for three decades even though visitors stopped coming to the park some time ago. The warden's citadel is protected by energy shields attuned to the Phiadorans’ body cells, but humans
