‘Careful,’ said Polly, ‘it’s hot.’ Hobson lowered the cup again. Beside him another of his men, Bob, the youngest member of the base crew, a bespectacled youth of nineteen, sipped his coffee and smiled at her. ‘Not too hot for me,’ he said.

She turned to the Doctor. ‘Doctor, don’t you want your coffee?’ She passed him the cup that she had put down on the console for him. The Doctor nodded gloomily, lost in thought. ‘No thanks, Polly.’

Hobson returned to the attack. ‘As I was saying, you’ve had your chance, Doctor. What have you found? Nothing!’

Bob, the young technician, suddenly stiffened. His hand started shaking.

‘Careful,’ Polly shouted. But it was too late. The cup tipped forward from his hand and fell on to the floor. His entire body began to shudder. He stiffened and slowly collapsed into a heap on the floor. Everybody rose to their feet.

‘Stand back,’ the Doctor shouted. ‘Let me look.’ As they backed away he bent over the man and examined his hand.

On the back of the technician’s hand the black lines were slowly creeping, swelling up like veins and reaching along the fingers... the men reacted in silence to the plight of yet another victim of the black plague. The Doctor slowly rose to his feet. He looked over to where Nils was raising his coffee cup to his mouth and yelled out, ‘Don’t drink that!’ Nils lowered the cup again. ‘Everybody, listen!’ said the Doctor.

‘Don’t touch that coffee, whatever you do.’

‘What on earth,’ began Hobson.

‘It’s the sugar,’ said the Doctor. ‘That’s why the disease doesn’t affect everybody. The virus is in the sugar. Not everybody takes it.’
