TEXT: The Dominators By Norman Ashby 5:15pm - 5:40pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1, EXT: SAUCER (The Doctor fusses busily with the airlock of the Dominator spacecraft.) JAMIE: Hey Doctor! DOCTOR: Stop it. JAMIE:...Doctor! (Jamie tugs at the Doctor's coat to get his attention.) DOCTOR: Jamie, don't do it! JAMIE: Doctor look! Look. (Reluctantly he turns and sees that he is being scanned by two creatures. A round mace-like head studded with shards of crystal sits atop a small boxy torso; within the front face of which are two concealed folding arms, one above the other that can hinge out in two opposing 90° angle sweeps. Below, the robots move on two tiny flexible legs ending in rectangular feet. The two Quarks stand atop a nearby sandbank.) DOCTOR: Oh my word! (The lead Quark addresses the Doctor and Jamie in a high-pitched mechanical voice.) QUARK: DO NOT MOVE! DO NOT MOVE! (They are joined by the sadistic form of Toba.) QUARK: NEXT TASK? SHALL WE DESTROY? SHALL WE DESTROY? (The right-hand Quark extends an arm with an inbuilt weapon and aims it at the Doctor and Jamie.) [SCENE_BREAK] 2, INT: SAUCER (The chamber inside the saucer is cavernous, the roof rising sharply in the centre. Around the walls in between support struts banks of bright monitors and control panels hum and click. Beside an internal door is a bank of quark-shaped lights monitoring the operations of all the robots. The centre of the chamber rises into a high safety-railed circular dais containing a glowing console. Around the base of the dais is a circular seat and a small set of steps behind to ascend. Rago casually looks up from a from a bank of hypnotically swirling and pulsing screens
