Unless I read it wrong and the Brig knew it was the Master all along-- in which case that should be a tidge clearer?

That was the way I figured it - the Doctor's met the Brig post-retirement (twice - once in Mawdryn Undead and once in Battlefield), whereas the last time the Brig saw the Master was in The Sea Devils, I think. But now that I think about it, even in those two serials I think the Doctor called him Brigadier just out of habit, so once I go through this again I'll be sure to clarify that it's the Master they're talking about. Thanks for pointing that out to me. :D

(I wanted to tease out the ending a bit to have the conversation come to a more natural conclusion, and maybe have them talk about the Master as the Brig knew him, but we'll see what happens.)

I'm glad you enjoyed the fic! And that you caught the Sea Devils reference, because that was a last-minute addition.
