Centuries ago three time travellers visited the world of the Gonds and helped them in their struggle against the oppressive Krotons. Then they left. How did the Gonds cope in the aftermath of the defeat of the Krotons? Did they survive?

Many years later a survey vessel from an archeological society known as the Academius Stellaris, based on the planer Strichium, visited this unnamed world.....

Subject:
Planetary Survey of Ruined Artifacts on Volcanic Planetoid - Binary System

Surveys suggest that the structures have been abandoned for several thousand years. Each larger building has a collection of smaller structures, which we hypothesise are dwellings of some sort. Possibly humanoid but the high concentrations of sulphuric chemicals in the atmosphere would make humanoid life difficult.
In the largest structure we have discovered several structures still intact, resembling some sort of chemical laboratory. We have managed to reactivate some of the equipment including a large tank. A crystalline based structure appears to be forming slowly, possibly some sort of power crystal. As yet it is difficult to tell. We are connecting the ships computer to the control banks in an attempt to speed up the process.
We are transmitting images of the surroundings, the structures and the laboratory with the tank. More to follow shortly.......

High concentrations of poisonous gasses in atmosphere necessitate the wearing of pressure suits at all times.
Temperature variable between 45° Celsius at night and 88° Celsius at noon.

Survey teams of three persons have accessed the larger structures and discovered several artifacts, some seemingly intact.......
We have cameras operating and recording. You should be receiving the transmissions now, via orbital relay station.

Image of crystalline structure gardually forming. Ships computers are attempting to accelerate the process and have produced a prediction of the completed structure's shape and dimensions, detailed below.......

Structure would appear to have a head section and a mid section with arm like appendages.
Structure is estimated to be approximately 40% taller than average human............

ARE THE KROTONS REVIVED?

HAS THE CREW OF THE ASSV MONARCH UNWITTINGLY RESURRECTED THIS WARLIKE CRYSTALLINE RACE FROM HIBERNATION?

IF SO, WILL THEY SEARCH FOR THE CAUSE OF THEIR LAST DEFEAT CENTURIES AGO, THE DOCTOR.........?
