'''Morton''' was the [[engineer]] on [[Hopper (The Tomb of the Cybermen)|Captain Hopper]]'s [[Hopper's rocket|rocket]]. She spent a considerable amount of time, "much of her life", working under Hopper's command. | '''Morton''' was the [[engineer]] on [[Hopper (The Tomb of the Cybermen)|Captain Hopper]]'s [[Hopper's rocket|rocket]].

During their expedition on [[Telos]], in which they re-awakened [[Cybermen]] from their [[Cyber-tomb]], Morton was busy making [[repair]]s to the rocket, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Secrets of Telos (audio story)|Secrets of Telos]]'') because it was sabotaged, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Tomb of the Cybermen (TV story)|The Tomb of the Cybermen]]'') and never met the [[Second Doctor]]. | During their expedition on [[Telos]], in which they re-awakened [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] from their [[Cyber-tomb]], Morton was busy making [[repair]]s to the rocket, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Secrets of Telos (audio story)|Secrets of Telos]]'') because it was sabotaged, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Tomb of the Cybermen (TV story)|The Tomb of the Cybermen]]'') and never met the [[Second Doctor]]. | ||
She was a capable [[mechanic]], though there were still repairs to be made when they departed. Unseen by the crew, a [[Cybermat]] had managed to [[stowaway|stow away]] aboard the rocket. It quickly made repairs of its own, even augmenting the ship's travel capabilities, for faster travel. Morton was more trusting of the [[Fifth Doctor]], when he arrived with [[Tegan Jovanka]] and [[Nyssa]], than was Hopper. She still deferred to Hopper, as her captain, and locked down [[the TARDIS]] on his orders. | She was a capable [[mechanic]], though there were still repairs to be made when they departed.

When a partially converted [[Cyberman]] became a threat on their rocket, she sent it out into the [[vacuum]] of [[outer space]], opening the [[airlock]] by reversing the [[magnetic pulse field]] in the hold, and freed Tegan and Nyssa from their [[handcuff]]s. Later, on [[Telos Minor]], she was practical about threats, but still echoed her earlier reasoning that Cybermen hadn't been seen for centuries, refusing to believe their [[factory]] might be in operation. She ignored their pleas to leave until the danger became more obvious. In fact, it was [[Vansom|Professor Vansom]] who had restarted operation.
