In a remote disputed area of Turmezistan, surrounded by three world militaries, an entire pyramid has suddenly appeared overnight. With this unexpected incursion threatening the stability of the region, the UN brings in the Doctor to investigate. He soon learns that the pyramid is inhabited by none other than the Monks, who quite calmly inform him that the world is about to end, and the Monks will be happy to help... but only when the humans ask them to rule the planet.
