The Fortress is still potentially lethal and the Doctor intends to deactivate it but when he arrives on the planet he soon discovers that it’s not completely uninhabited when he stumbles into some kids and a ghost.

Some people survived the devastation caused by the Fortress and decided to rebuild their world but to do so they must have as many children as possible despite the difficult conditions. Their hopes become linked to the Doctor’s success, made more difficult by the appearance of the Eyeless, what do they want with the Fortress?
