.To his horror he felt two hands helping him.He looked over his shoulderand saw a particularly villainous-looking Gaztak, grinning amiably at him.With a sigh of relief, the Doctor realised that his impersonation wasworking already.The fellow thought he was Meglos.'Thank you very much,' said the Doctor politely.'Do you think you could dosomething else for me?'The Gaztak nodded.'Well, the thing is, I'm not sure if this Screen is quite vertical? Wouldyou say it was vertical? Anyway, if you wouldn't mind just holding it for awhile, while I check the other side? Let me show you!'The Doctor positioned the Gaztak so that he was standing, arms stretchedupwards, supporting, quite unnecessarily, the lower part of the great metalScreen, the Doctor's coat still clutched in one hand.'Splendid,' said the Doctor.'Don't move!'He hurried away.Brotodac was shaking the creases out of Meglos's coat.He held it upadmiringly.'Beautiful!'Grugger looked narrowly at him.He still needed Brotodac, especially withhis fighting force cut down to a handful.But could he trust him, when thegreat bony fool was so dazzled by Meglos? Maybe the coat was the key.'Put it on,' suggested Grugger.Brotodac's eyes lit up.Then he shook his head.'What will he say?''Doesn't matter what he says any more,' said Grugger.'He's talked too muchfor his own good.' He squinted at Brotodac to see how he was taking allthis.Grugger slapped the main console with careless confidence.'I watchedeverything he was doing, got him to explain things, you saw?''So?''So I've got all this all figured out.We don't need him any more.Put thecoat on.' Grugger waited tensely.If Brotodac put the coat on - it wouldmark the end of his loyalty to Meglos - and the end of Meglos as well.Unable to resist it, Brotodac slipped his arms in the sleeves, shrugged hisshoulders into it.He was admiring his own reflection in one of the visionscreens when Meglos walked back into the laboratory.Brotodac startedguiltily.Actually it wasn't Meglos at all, it was the Doctor himself, but toBrotodac and Grugger, of course, it was still Meglos.The Doctor beamed at Brotodac.'I say, I like you in that coat.Looks wellon you.' He hurried over to the main console.'Now let me see, what have wehere?' The Doctor began making rapid alterations to Meglos's controlsettings.'What about the countdown?' asked Brotodac.'Not just yet,' said the Doctor absently.He changed a few more settings.Grugger looked hard at him, sensing more than suspecting that something waswrong.'You said it was already programmed.''Programmed?''To annihilate Tigella.''Well yes it is - nearly,' said the Doctor vaguely.'Just a few minoradjustments.' He peered at a wheel-like control.'Now I wonder what that'sfor?''You told me it was for focusing the beams,' said Grugger suspiciously.Meglos was acting very strangely.Was he planning some treachery himself?'Of course it is, of course it is,' said the Doctor, his fingers flyingover the console.'I must just pop outside for a moment.'The Doctor was just about to leave when a Gaztak entered and handed him hiscoat.It was the Gaztak the Doctor had left holding up the Screen. Eventually growing bored with this, the Gaztak had moved away, thenrealised he was still carrying the coat - Meglos's coat, as he naturallythought.In a well-meaning attempt to be helpful he had brought the coatback to its owner.Grugger looked at the coat in the Doctor's hands, and then looked at theidentical coat on Brotodac's back.'Two coats?' he said slowly.'Two coats?What's going on?'Meglos finished checking the Screen, and looked at the uncomprehendingGaztak beside him.Grugger had given orders that Meglos was to go nowherewithout a Gaztak guard - 'For his own safety'.'Excellent! The magnification levels are constant.One more check and weare ready to go.'They moved away.Romana was waiting by the TARDIS, and getting increasingly worried aboutthe Doctor.Caris and Deedrix were with her, absorbed in the wonder of the glowingDodecahedron.'It's unbelievable,' said Deedrix.'Just unbelievable.'Caris said wistfully.'I'd love to have a closer look.''Perhaps we all should,' said Romana crisply.'Come along K9.''Mistress.'They headed towards the pulsing light.With a beaming smile, the Doctor held out the coat to General Grugger.'Iran it up specially for you, General.You've served me so well, I thoughtyou deserved a little treat.' It was a thin story, but it held offGrugger's suspicions, at least for the moment.Accepting the coat with a grunt, he tossed it over a chair.'Are we readynow, then?''Well, yes.' said the Doctor, unable to think of any more delays.'So it's just the countdown, and then activation?''That's it.''All right.Let's do it,' said Grugger.Brotodac began counting happily.'Sixty, fifty-nine, fifty-eight.''No, no, no,' said the Doctor, lying frantically.'It's not quite asinstant as that! The Screens won't reach full activation capacity for aboutanother two minutes.I'm just going to take a stroll outside and try tocatch up with myself.'The Doctor strolled casually to the door.Grugger was peering suspiciouslyat the settings on the main console which all looked strangely differentsomehow.The Doctor paused in the doorway.'I really don't recommend touching thosecontrols.You might ruin everything.' He went out of the laboratory.Grugger turned to Brotodac.'Right, get him!''What?' said Brotodac stupidly.'Get Meglos?''Yes.Put him into the spacecraft security hold.We'll keep him alive for awhile, just in case, but we can manage without him now - so get him!'Brotodac hesitated [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
