‘Then why not use them to talk to Heldorf?’ The Doctor headed for the door. ‘I’m going to use the computer, Brigadier.’ He turned to Carrington. ‘I trust Taltallian won’t hold a gun on me this time!’

‘Nothing is to be gained by deciphering these impulses,’

insisted Carrington. ‘Your objective should be to find the astronauts.’

‘My objective, General, is to find out what these aliens are trying to say to us.’

And with this parting shot, the Doctor strode from the room.

In the computer room the Doctor found Cornish and Taltallian discussing the problem of fuelling the recovery rocket. It appeared there was a shortage which could only be met by blending conventional fuel with the new and highly volatile M3 variant.

The Doctor entered and jabbed Taltallian in the back with a pencil. ‘You’re not armed, I hope?’

Taltallian half-raised his hands then lowered them as the Doctor took the pencil away and waved it at him. ‘I would not have used the gun on a fellow scientist.’

‘Have they found your assistant?’ asked Cornish.

‘Not yet,’ said the Doctor briefly. ‘May I use the computer?’

‘Certainly. No doubt Doctor Taltallian will help you. I’d like to see you about the rescue capsule. If you have a moment later?’

‘Of course.’

Cornish left, and the Doctor said, ‘Now, Doctor Taltallian, I’d like to programme in these impulse records...’ He explained what he was attempting to do.

‘This could take some considerable time, Doctor.’

‘Well, it mustn’t – ’

The phone rang and Taltallian answered it. ‘For you, Doctor.’
