The Doctor and the Brigadier had been assigned a shared office at the Space Centre, where the Brigadier had set up a temporary HQ. The Doctor was going through Heldorf’s notes at one of the two desks, trying to ignore Carrington, who was hovering over him.

The Brigadier strode in, saluted Carrington and sat down. ‘I’ve issued Miss Shaw’s description to every police force in the country.’

‘Why?’ asked Carrington sourly. ‘Do you expect her to be wandering the streets?’

‘No sir, just a precaution.’

‘I took the liberty of examining the things found on the bodies of those two dead men – the ones in the gravel pit.

Look at this. A newspaper in a foreign language – Russian I think, or maybe Polish or Hungarian.’

The Doctor spoke without looking up. ‘Anyone can buy a foreign newspaper, General.’

‘And there’s this comb,’ said Carrington triumphantly.

‘With a maker’s imprint on it – in the same language.’

The Doctor stood up, took the comb from Carrington’s hand, screwed a jeweller’s glass into his eye and examined the minute writing. ‘Tsk, tsk, very remiss of them, keeping this!’

‘It could be a plant, sir,’ said the Brigadier quietly.

Carrington waved the idea away. ‘No, no, the only people capable of setting up a conspiracy like this are foreign agents with vast resources.’

‘And hair-combs,’ said the Doctor solemnly.

Carrington was quite sure his theory was correct. ‘These people want to use the radiated astronauts as a weapon.’

‘Your astronauts are still in orbit, General,’ said the Doctor.

‘Ridiculous!’

The Doctor waved a sheaf of notes in his face. ‘When Professor Heldorf had the aliens in his care he recorded radio impulses.’

‘Astronauts have radios in their helmets, Doctor.’
