Synopsis
On the planet Tigella, Leader Zastor struggles to unite his people, who are deeply divided over the Dodecahedron, their mysterious power source. Savants view it as a scientific marvel, while Deons revere it as a god. When the Dodecahedron's power fluctuates, threatening the entire planet, Zastor invites the Doctor to mediate. However, the Deons are wary of the Time Lord, and their suspicions may be well-founded.
