TEXT: The Dominators By Norman Ashby 5:15pm - 5:40pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1, INT: SAUCER TOBA: Quark, kill! (The robots power units sing with glee as it discharges both its force weapons into Balan. He gives a horrible scream and falls to the floor, dead.) TOBA: You! You're next, you know the boy, where is he? (The Doctor faces Toba in silence.) TOBA: Answer or you will die! Quark..! RAGO: Toba! What is the meaning of this? Explain! (Toba turns to see Rago looking at him with a face like thunder.) TOBA: We were being attacked and a Quark was destroyed; it was an emergency. RAGO: Emergency? A few hostile primitives manage to destroy a Quark and you expend time and power chasing them! TOBA: Don't you see... RAGO: Why has the drilling stopped? Are you finished? TOBA: All four perimeter bores are complete! RAGO: And the centre bore? TOBA: The centre bore is... RAGO: Not even started! The Quarks power cells are dangerously low, and yet you send them scuttling all over this island on a pointless search and killing harmless aliens! TOBA: I considered it was my..! RAGO: Silence! Have the rockets been inserted into the perimeter boreholes yet? TOBA: No. RAGO: Do it! Is the seed device at a critical mass? TOBA: There has not been enough time! RAGO: Time?! You have jeopardised this most vital part of the Dominator's war mission, you will remain on this planet and die with it! TOBA: Navigator Rago I have been..but..but! RAGO: You are useless unless you obey the Navigator's orders! Now check that seed device. (The Doctor skips out of the way as Toba sweeps past him to check a device the size and shape of a silvery ostrich egg, nestled safely within a transparent crystal box.) ZOE
