When the recovery crew returns to earth, it is captured by General Charles Carrington, also abducting the missing astronauts. Carrington is now introduced to the Doctor by Sir James Quinlan, the Minister for Technology, as head of the newly formed Space Security Department. Carrington says his actions were to protect the astronauts, as they have been infected with contagious radiation. Quinlan states the government did not want the public to become panic-stricken and reveals that Carrington has been acting with government authority. The Doctor believes the real astronauts are still in orbit, and that the three space suits contain alien beings. </p><p>An intelligent but ruthless criminal named Reegan engineers the kidnapping of Liz Shaw to aid his own scientist, Lennox, in keeping the aliens alive. Reegan sends the creatures to the Space Centre to kill Quinlan. Liz helps Lennox escape, and he tries to reach the Brigadier, but Reegan finds and kills him with a radioactive isotope. </p><p>Cornish is determined to launch another spacecraft to retrieve his astronauts from the Mars Probe capsule in Earth orbit. The Doctor volunteers to pilot the rocket himself, but its safe travel is sabotaged, and nearly kills the Doctor. In orbit, the recovery capsule is taken prisoner by an alien spaceship. Aboard the craft, an alien being explains the humans are being held pending the safe return of the alien ambassadors, who have been sent to Earth to make peaceful contact with mankind. However, the alien being also gives the ultimatum that they will attack should their ambassadors not be freed. The Doctor gives his personal guarantee to return the ambassadors safely. </p><p>When the Doctor touches down, he is kidnapped by Reegan, who reunites him with Liz. Reegan's paymaster, and the real organiser of the conspiracy, is revealed: General Carrington. In the previous Mars Probe Six mission, Carrington was one of the crew members; they discovered and made contact with these alien beings. Unfortunately, their contact went awry, as the radiation emitted by the creatures is lethal to humans, which killed Carrington's partner. Out of a misplaced sense of guilt and duty, The General has lured the three aliens to Earth in order to expose them on television and intends to <a href="/wiki/Casus_belli" title="Casus belli">call on the nations of the world to attack them.</a> The use of the ambassadors to kill was done simply to arouse public opinion against them beforehand. </p><p>The Doctor manages to send a radio message, and the Brigadier and UNIT soldiers rescue him and Liz, arresting Reegan. They race to the Space Centre, where the Brigadier arrests Carrington. The Doctor arranges for Ralph Cornish and Liz to return the ambassadors to their own people so that the three human astronauts can be released. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Ambassadors_of_Death&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/David_Whitaker_(screenwriter)" title="David Whitaker (screenwriter)">David Whitaker</a>, despite being the sole credited writer for the serial, drafted the first three episodes only. <a href="/wiki/Trevor_Ray" title="Trevor Ray">Trevor Ray</a>, the series' assistant script editor, completed episode one; <a href="/wiki/Malcolm_Hulke" title="Malcolm Hulke">Malcolm Hulke</a> finalised episodes two and three, and wrote the remaining four episodes.<sup id="cite_ref-Radio_Times_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Radio_Times-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> According to script editor <a href="/wiki/Terrance_Dicks" title="Terrance Dicks">Terrance Dicks</a>, he worked under pressure to complete the scripts with Hulke in a similar process to <i><a href="/wiki/The_War_Games" title="The War Games">The War Games</a></i> from the previous season: </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>David Whitaker ... had gone through four or five drafts and you come to a stage where you write so much it just gets worse.
