The narrative assertion

"The TARDIS landing inside the spaceship (beat_f6a912937df1ab65) directly leads to the Doctor and his companions encountering Maitland and Carol, who reveal the threat of the Sensorites (beat_528f0dda5169e468). This is the primary inciting incident that draws the travelers into the central conflict."
