Brak's Sontaran fighting spirit was awakened by Churchill's bloodthirsty practicality, and he devised a plan of action to accelerate Earth's weapons development in the hope of moulding [[human]]ity into a [[warrior race]] who would be a worthy foe for the [[Sontaran Empire]] — which he believed to be the only honourable course of action left to him. Transferred to a military airbase, he worked throughout [[World War II]] to help scientists develop advanced weaponry, primarily succeeding in synthetising the chemical [[Cobalt Blue]]. Cobalt Blue-based bombs were notably employed at the [[bombing of Dresden]]. As Brak had anticipated, the secrets of Cobalt Blue eventually began to get out, with more and more militaries and terrorist groups around the world gaining access to the substance without fully knowing how to control it.
