plot synopsis
The Dominators have taken over the planet of Dulkis with their robotic Quarks, with a plan to detonate a vast nuclear device in the planet's core that would turn the world into nothing more than radioactive waste. This would then be used to power the Dominators' fleet of spacecraft. The Dulcians are natural pacifists, and so the Doctor must find a way to stop the Dominators' scheme
