TEXT: HORROR OF FANG ROCK BY: TERRANCE DICKS Part Four Running time: 23:49 [SCENE_BREAK] VINCE: Reuben! You all right now? You shouldn't have come up here. I'll hang on till morning. You go and get some sleep. VINCE: No, no. [SCENE_BREAK] LEELA: This alien must have great power to change its shape at will. DOCTOR: It has. But it needed to study the human life pattern first. LEELA: That is why it took the engineer. DOCTOR: Organic restructuring is elementary physiology for Time Lords. LEELA: Then there is nothing we can do. DOCTOR: What? LEELA: Well, if this creature is a Time Lord DOCTOR: No, not a Time Lord. Elementary physiology for us is something that lesser species might master after a few thousand centuries. LEELA: Oh. Then we have nothing to worry about. DOCTOR: We don't? LEELA: No. You will easily dispose of this primitive creature, Doctor. You are a Time Lord. DOCTOR: Yes, but it took Reuben's form for a reason. LEELA: To kill us stealthily, one by one. Doctor! DOCTOR: What is it? LEELA: Suppose we pretend that we still think Reuben is Reuben, and not the alien, then we can get close enough to it and kill it. DOCTOR: No, no, no, no. We can't. If we got within touching distance of it, we're dead. It packs too many volts. LEELA: What is it? DOCTOR: It's some kind of power relay. LEELA: Does it belong to the alien? DOCTOR: Yes, yes. Rule one after surviving a crash landing, set up distress beacon. To do that it would have needed a power source. That's why it came here. There must be a signal modulator somewhere, transmitting. To whom? To it's own kind. Leela, get the surviving humans to the lamp room. LEELA: To the lamp room.
SUMMARY:
With little to fear, and its mother ship about to land and turn Earth into an alien attack base, the electrically charged Rutan scout drops its human guise and attacks openly.
