The second Counter-Measures duty was to ensure Broderick's artificially intelligent Sentient Engine Generator 2 computer ([[Sen-Gen]]) project was working smoothly. Sir Toby was aware Broderick was using Jensen's own research for Sen-Gen and was amused by the idea of Jensen finding out, and even gave Broderick recordings of her voice. Unknown to his old school friend, he was secretly having him watched by [[Julian St. Stephen]], and was also making use of Gilmore's old ties to Sen-Gen's Dr Cervenka. When it was discovered that Sen-Gen was driving people insane, he publicly shut the project done. In secret, he callously broke Broderick's mind so the government could use him to make another such computer.

He was annoyed when some of Schumann's work was bought by industrialist [[ | He was annoyed when some of Schumann's work was bought by industrialist [[Ken Temple]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Threshold (audio story)|Threshold]]'') and wanted to investigate what Temple was doing with it, but couldn't as the man was too connected to the government. As a result, he discouraged Counter-Measures from investigating — in a way that would ensure they would dig up something that meant he "had" to investigate Temple's [[Pelage]] site. Sir Toby personally joined the mission, pretending to be from the Department of Works. When the true extent of Temple's work — forcibly altering humans to breath pollutants as part of a mad scheme to move the species from [[Earth]] to [[Venus]] — came to light, Sir Toby was sickened and went on a personal crusade to purge the government of anyone who had backed Temple.

Sir Toby was conservative and unhappy with the prospect of [[Harold Wilson]]'s [[Labour Party]] being in power, though he believed that they had to make the best of it. | Sir Toby was conservative and unhappy with the prospect of [[Harold Wilson]]'s [[Labour Party]] being in power, though he believed that they had to make the best of it. | ||
