Dr. Meredith started to speak. 'Dr. Lawrence...' But Dr.

Lawrence waved him to silence and looked at his wristwatch.

'You are exactly eighteen minutes late,' said Dr. Lawrence. 'I called this meeting for three o'clock.'

'I was looking for Major Barker,' said Dr. Meredith, clearly flushed with some news he wanted to impart. 'I thought he might have gone to Dr. Quinn's cotttage, so I just called there.' He paused to catch his breath. 'Dr. Quinn's dead, and Miss Dawson is behaving just like Spencer, cringing in a corner of the hallway, unable to talk.'

Dr Meredith slumped into the one remaining hard-backed chair.

'There's something else,' he went on. 'The door from Dr. Quinn's store-room to the hall has been burnt down.'

For a moment no one said anything. Liz looked to the Doctor, but the Doctor pretended not to notice her look. It was the Brigadier who broke the silence. 'I shall send a request for more troops,' he said calmly, 'many more troops, so that we can enter those caves and find out exactly what's going on.'

'I'd much rather if you didn't do that,' said the Doctor. 'A full-scale military action could be absolutely disastrous.'

'I believe you are UNIT's scientific adviser,' said Dr.

Lawrence, 'and not a military man. I completely endorse the Brigadier's plan. If, as Major Barker claimed, there are saboteurs in those caves, enemies of this country, they must be routed.'

'Thank you, sir,' said the Brigadier, rising. He turned to the Doctor. 'I'm sorry, Doctor. It's the only way.' Without waiting for a reply, the Brigadier hurried out.

Dr. Lawrence also rose. 'The meeting is closed. And now I must get on with trying to run this research centre.' He hurried out after the Brigadier.

The Doctor turned to Dr. Meredith. 'Do you know how Dr.

Quinn was killed?'

Dr. Meredith shook his head. 'So far as I could see, there wasn't a mark on his body. His heart had just stopped beating. But I'm going back there to make a full report.'

Liz asked, 'What's happened to Miss Dawson?'
