Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Murder on the sandminer[[edit] | [edit source]]
Toos was second-in-command of Storm Mine 4, working on the control deck and identifying rich veins of ore. Following Chub's murder, she was dissuaded by Dask from joining Borg and Cass in their search for the Fourth Doctor and Leela. Once the pair had been captured, Toos agreed that the Doctor's claims that he was not responsible were plausible given that "as a lie [it was] pretty feeble". After Kiy Uvanov was found over Zilda's body, Toos became commander, although she was sceptical about Ander Poul's belief that Uvanov had killed her.
She did not believe the Doctor when he claimed that the robots were responsible for the killings until V6 tried to choke her. She was saved by SV7, who was later converted to Taren Capel's creed, forcing her to accept the claims of a robot revolution, and stopped being active commander once Uvanov was cleared of suspicion. The two worked together on the bridge to produce anti-robot bombs per the Doctor's suggestion, one of which they used to destroy V5. Toos encountered SV7 after it had killed Capel and was choked by it before the Doctor deactivated it using a laserson probe. With a rescue ship on its way to collect Toos and Uvanov, the Doctor and Leela left. (TV: The Robots of Death [+]Loading...["The Robots of Death (TV story)"])
