}}A [[UNIT]] '''soldier''' was technical officer under [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]].
 
While conducting maintenance upon the [[Third Doctor]]'s [[Whomobile|new vehicle]] in UNIT HQ's carpark, he was approached by [[Lupton]], who asked the soldier the whereabouts of the Doctor. After an initial misunderstanding concerning the base's medical officer, he told the man the Doctor would be in his laboratory at this time of day. Having cleared that up, the soldier requested a security pass from Lupton. Lupton then attacked him with his advanced [[psychic power]]s and the soldier was left for dead in the carpark.
