Ace studied it for a second before the Doctor removed it from her grasp, turned it round, gave it back and directed her aim towards Josiah.

‘Keep him covered,’ said the Doctor before he sauntered across the chamber towards the figure that knelt beside the membrane.

One of the jets of steam spurted out and almost caught the Doctor in the face. He scooped up a brass waste-paper basket from the floor, caught the jet in it and plugged the basket over the vent on the wall.

‘Not a patch on the Flying Scotsman,’ he muttered, dusting off his hands and flicking at an outcrop of crystals beside the vent.

Josiah watched as the steam jets died around the chamber. The Doctor was interfering with his property and he was powerless to stop it. He must find out the extent of the damage. He looked back at the girl as she aimed the gun squarely at his head, and noticed how the flickering instrumentation on the weapon altered as the energetic activity in the chamber subsided.

‘Don’t try anything,’ Ace said fiercely.

Shielding his eyes against the glare, Josiah saw the Doctor bending over the figure by the membrane. The shadow was still shifting uneasily inside; he had to act now.

‘Nimrod!’ he shouted. ‘Get up you fool! It’s got to be stopped!’

The Doctor snapped his fingers a couple of times under the entranced Neanderthal’s nose. When he got no response, the Doctor placed his hands on the sides of Nimrod’s temples.

‘Best not to move him,’ he advised.

‘He fell against that,’ said Ace, pointing to the membrane with the Geiger counter.

‘And disturbed whatever’s hibernating inside,’ the Doctor concluded, reaching forward to examine the cracks in the membrane’s crust through which light was seeping.
