TEXT: THE WEB PLANET BILL STRUTTON 5:40pm - 6:05pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1: EXT. SAYO PLATEAU (HROSTAR catches up with BARBARA and PRAPILLUS as they find themselves surrounded. Their backs are to a rockface as a ZARBI rears up before them and others join it ready to deal with the fugitives. BARBARA and the two Menoptra run to one side and momentarily away from their pursuers. They find themselves against another rockface.) HROSTAR: Zarbi! BARBARA: We're surrounded. Come on! (She starts to run off but a ZARBI is in front of her. Stepping backwards, she trips and falls against the rockface, which suddenly falls back to reveal a hidden doorway in the rock. HROSTAR and PRAPILLUS help BARBARA to her feet and they run through the newly found entrance. Just as the ZARBI and their larvae guns arrive, the door slides shut again. The larvae gun fires, but it has no effect...) [SCENE_BREAK] 2: INT. CARSENOME. CONTROL ROOM (The DOCTOR and VICKI stand motionless, the gold necklaces still adorning them. The ZARBI'S attention is on the light wall and VICKI opens one eye, then the other making sure that they are not observed. She takes off her own necklace and uses it to knock the one off the DOCTOR'S shoulders. She hurriedly places her own dysfunctional and converted necklace back over her shoulders. The DOCTOR falls back slightly as he comes round...) DOCTOR: Ohh! VICKI: Shh! (VICKI holds him up. The old man steadies himself, then stares at her necklace.) DOCTOR: My dear, you're still wearing it. VICKI: Shh! (Whispers.) It's all right. I took a chance and put it on. You've done it! It doesn't work anymore. (They both check that they are still unobserved.) DOCTOR: Oh yes,
SUMMARY:
On the planet Vortis, the Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Vicki are swept up in the struggles of the butterfly-like Menoptera, the original denizens of Vortis who were forced to flee the planet for the moon Pictos to escape the encroaching web of the Animus and its mind-controlled minions, the ant-like Zarbi and their living weapons, the larvae guns.
