| - Once the best sanitary engineers in the solar system is now relegated to "snag finding" in the lower levels of Space Station Alpha, (the largest artificial satellite in orbit around the Earth in the year 3769). Welding Robot X-5 "Bert" and his mate Jimmy are carrying out routine inspection of a waste outlet pipe that appears to have gone missing. Jimmy is working on snag-finding duties to raise money to repair the broken bionic rivet gun attached to his arm. When it is fixed they can return to the top executive levels, working for better credits. All of a sudden, Bert's antigrav goes offline and he falls down a thruster duct. There he meets the Tenth Doctor. All suited up, the Doctor is impressed to find a Technomatics — "the best construction robots ever invented". Introductions are cut short when Bert's connections seem to fail and he accidentally zooms off, dragging the Doctor behind with him. When he comes to rest they are rejoined by Jimmy. The Doctor diagnoses Bert's erratic behaviour, attributing it to a secret signal on an unauthorised wavelength emanating from Block 17. Taking Bert's receptors offline, Bert and Jimmy accompany the Doctor to investigate the source of the signal. Behind closed doors in the waste containment block they find armed and unfriendly androids. When disturbed, they activatedand threaten to "terminate the humanoids". Escaping down the missing waste outlet pipe the Doctor, Jimmy and Bert come face to face with the Klytode, who unlike its guard androids, is ready. "Ready to destroy the planet Earth"!
