The Doctor was worried. The Judoon Commander was

no expert on humanoid body language, but even he could

tell from his companion’s relentless pacing that he was

anxious about the girl.

The Doctor had not wanted to allow her to make this

attempt to gain admittance to the apartment by such a

dangerous route, but he had been outvoted. Nikki had

better. If even clone races like Sontarans could have

distinct personalities, then alien races like the Khellian

Horde, the Hath and the Judoon were bound to be more

varied. After all, the Doctor thought, I’ve met Cybermen
