The TARDIS materialises at a secret naval base off the coast of Northumberland during the Second World War. Dr. Judson, a scientist there, has created the Ultima Machine, an early computer designed to break German codes. But Judson also has a much more sinister use for the machine. He plans to translate the ancient runes in a crypt of the nearby St. Jude's Church, which will release Fenric, an evil entity from the dawn of time whom the Doctor trapped seventeen centuries earlier.
