Finally, a message arrived from the brothers. The waiting was over.

‘At last,’ said Tegan, in that abrupt manner he had got used to over the last fortnight. She was so unlike most Morestran women. They were placid, unintelligent and chunky; breeding machines, used for nothing but work and pleasure. Tegan was different. So different.

She had elected to wear the clothes of a Morestran noblewoman and Ferdinand admitted to himself he found her ridiculously attractive. Her will, her outspoken nature, her beauty. She suited the simple green hood that framed her strong face. Not that she would ever look at him, and not that he would ever attempt to take legal possession of her. But he couldn’t get her out of his mind.

They rode the coach back to the court in silence, each bound up in new thoughts and worries. Ferdinand trusted the brothers – he had worked for them for a long time, in fact he owed them his life in the service – but he also knew how mercenary they could be. And with the future of the Energy Tower at stake, well, who knew what they would decide to do? His own view was that they would agree with the Doctor and organise a punitive expedition to the Tower. If they were lucky they would have spent the last two weeks organising it.

He made up his mind to be on that expedition when it went.

No one was going to leave him out of this.

‘I wonder how Nyssa’s getting on,’ said Tegan.

The Doctor didn’t reply, just leaned back into the coach cushions.

‘She should be there by now,’ replied Ferdinand, wanting to make conversation. ‘She’ll be safe enough with Harwood to protect her.’

‘I hope so,’ said Tegan. ‘I don’t think I like this “Planet of Sexism” you’ve got here.’

‘Right,’ replied Ferdinand. He simply didn’t know what to say.
