Under Reykjavik is a Brief Encounter short story. It was printed in DWM 174.
Summary
While the Doctor is asleep Romana busies herself updating some of the TARDIS' burnt out units by jacking in a G129AT ordnance unit. Unfortunately the TARDIS lands in the bunker of Magnus Greel beneath the Supreme Alliance fortress in Iceland and the doors won't close. Romana apologises for the interruption and the sound of the TARDIS' Cloister bells ringing out — the TARDIS believing it is under attack by the Pus Creatures of Rakos, and casually chats away to Magnus. She mentions time travel and debunks Dr Findecker's work on 'double nexus particles' which starts Magnus thinking about the real possibility of time travel which is further fed when Romana, having fixed the TARDIS with one of the Doctors tie-pins, leaves him with a business card for an excellent plastic surgeon in 1998. As soon as she has left Magnus is on the phone to Findecker... the 1890s sound interesting!
