The Doctor sat patiently in the Common Room while Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart lectured them all on the crisis.

The Doctor had already picked up most of the information from Travers, but it was interesting to see it all set out in order.

Lethbridge-Stewart was very thorough. Using a slide projector as a visual aid he took them through the entire history of events, starting with the disappearance of Travers’s reactivated sphere, followed by the vanishing of the Yeti in the museum. He covered the first appearances of the mist, followed by the appearance of the Web in the tunnels and finally the arrival of the Yeti. He described the Government’s counter-measures, the setting up of a scientific investigation unit headed by Travers, here in the old war-time Fortress at Goodge Street, with a military unit to protect it.

‘Unfortunately the enemy has counter-attacked in force. The Web has been moving steadily closer despite all our attempts to stop it.’ He pointed to a wall map. ‘Above ground, it covers roughly the area enclosed by the Circle Line. Underground, much of that same area is now invaded by the Web. We are besieged.’ The Colonel tucked his cane back under his arm.

‘So much for the past. Now let’s have some constructive suggestions. Professor Travers?’

Travers obviously didn’t care for the Colonel’s military manner. He muttered rather sulkily, ‘I’ve been working on a method of jamming the Yeti transmissions. My daughter is trying to develop a control unit to switch them off. So far we’ve not had much success. Now the Doctor’s here I hope we’ll do better.’

The Doctor smiled modestly, but said nothing.

Lethbridge-Stewart passed on, ‘Captain Knight?’
