The four watched from afar at the airport just in range to hear the conversation between the Master and the President. "Mister President, sir." The Master saluted grinning.

"You make it sound like an invasion." The Master groaned.

"First Contact policy was decided by the Security Council in 1968, and you've just gone and ignored it."

"Well, you know what it's like. New job, all that paperwork. I think it's down the back of the settee. I did have a quick look. I found a pen, a sweet, a bus ticket and," he paused seeing the annoyed look on the man's face, he glanced to his left, "er, have you met the wife?"

"Mister Saxon, I'm not sure what your game is but there are provisions at the United Nations to have you removed from office unless you are very, very careful. Is that understood?" He asked. "Are you taking this seriously? To business. We've accessed your files on these Toclafane. First Contact cannot take place on any sovereign soil.

"All will be revealed." The Master patted his back.

"I'm going to kill him." Martha gritted her teeth. Rita looked over at her in fear.

"What say I use this perception filter to walk up behind him and break his neck?"

"Now that sounds like Torchwood." The Doctor remarked.

"Still a good plan."

"The Master is a Time Lord not to mention my cousin meaning that if he was anybody's responsibility it would be mine as his older cousin. "I am not here to kill him, I will not go down to his level." Rita calmly told them her voice flat but serious. "I'm here to save him."

"I've known him almost as long as you have, he's caused you pain Stone, he's my responsibility just as much as he is yours."

"Doctor-" Rita went to protest but was cut off by him.
