DOCTOR: That's the P7E. TALA: Captain, the fuel's going. JACKSON: What do you mean? That's a planet. DOCTOR: That's where the signal's coming from. JACKSON: Where? DOCTOR: Right in the middle. The planet formed around it. TALA: Captain, the fuel's gone. JACKSON: That's it, then. There's nothing else we can do. LEELA: Sit down! We're going to crash! DOCTOR: Full speed! K9 (OOV.): Mach twelve. Impact in eleven seconds. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, DOCTOR: Hold tight. K9 (OOV.): Four, three. LEELA: Hold tight? K9 (OOV.): Two, one, zero. Stand by for impact. DOCTOR: You can relax now. Relax, everyone. It's a soft planet in the process of formation. Only the core will be solid and with any luck this stuff should slow us down so we don't hit it with too much of a bang. [SCENE_BREAK] K9: Two hundred and fifty kilometres below planet surface. Speed mach point three, decreasing. [SCENE_BREAK] JACKSON: Orfe, the signal. Tune in on the signal! ORFE: That's it! JACKSON: We've got it! DOCTOR: Fascinating. The Quest and nothing but the Quest.

Don't say any more. IDMON: Then
SUMMARY:
Crashing inside a newly formed planet, the Doctor and others find it inhabited by a slave labor mining society, where rocks are harvested for their radioactive energy and human life has little value. With a population controlled by deliberate cave-ins, poison gas, and periodic sacrifices to an Oracle, the miners, called Trogs, are also descendants from Minyos, and who desperately desire freedom.
