‘Yes, quite. It's a depressing prospect, isn't it? No wonder everyone wants to desert the sinking ship.'

The Doctor continued 'It will be most intriguing to meet him, provided we can get close. A dangerous character by all accounts.’

'But they say that he used to be their friend. I wonder why he changed.’

'Another good question. You’re full of good questions tonight, Ace. If only we had the answers.’

‘But we’re going to get them!'

I’m sure that some route of escape will present itself.'
