Aboard the UNIT ship ''[[Valiant (aircraft carrier)|Valiant]]'', which was to serve as the neutral ground meeting point, Winters ordered all armed personnel to withdraw in accordance with UN strictures before the Toclafane appeared. Much to his confusion, they disregarded him and asked for their "Master". Saxon, who in actuality was the renegade Time Lord known as the Master, then stood up and identified himself. Still not understanding the situation, Winters accosted him and demanded an explanation. In response, 'Saxon' stated that he was taking control and ordered one of the Toclafane to kill Winters. One immediately did so, firing a laser bolt that disintegrated the President on the spot. His death, witnessed by the entire world, signalled the start of the [[Toclafane invasion|Toclafane occupation]] of [[Earth]].
