When Brains and Kat had arrived at Thunderbird Two, Virgil greeted them, saying "It's a good thing Thunderbird Seven hasn't arrived yet. They're coming, too. So you have time to clean up."

"Uh," Kat had commented, "In all my years as a mechanic, I have never, ever, been as dirty as I am now. Heaven knows what my parents would think, if they could see me."

She'd headed for the crew's quarters and, taking off her cap and boots, tried to wipe as much mud as she could from her uniform. Looking at herself in the mirror she saw, in her reflection, a tousle haired, mud-streaked face. She'd had unaccounted for scratches down one cheek. Her once spruce uniform was damp and muddy. Hastily she'd managed to clean some of the mud from her face, and hands, and dunking her hair under the water, managed to wash off the mud. Still feeling hot and sticky, she reported back to Virgil on the flight deck.

"Okay, Van Gogh," she'd said, ignoring the frown that Virgil gave over the use of his nickname. "I'm ready. I hope I didn't keep everyone waiting too long."

"Seven arrived only a few minutes ago. But get strapped in; we're taking off in two minutes."

Brains had joined her, and Virgil had manoeuvred the huge green craft, taking off once more, headed for Fiji. They hadn't seen the medical team, who remained in Seven. During the flight, Brains had in contact with Scott. "Exactly where do they need us?" he asked.

Scott had replied, telling them that they would be needed to work on another generator at the island's hospital.

"Thunderbird One from Thunderbird Two. Where do I set down?"

"Van Gogh, I've been informed that there is a clearing not far from the hospital." Scott gave Virgil the coordinates. "Set Two down there, then Einstein and MGM can walk over. Seven can set up in the same clearing. While you go get Four, Sweet can help Quasar set up Mobile Control. I'll join you as soon as I can."

Brains looked at Kat. "Looks like more walking through muddy terrain." She nodded.

Once Thunderbird Two was down, Kat and Brains grabbed the tool boxes and headed out towards the hospital.

"Good luck," Virgil called as the two reached the exit. "Contact Mobile Control when you are finished."

"FAB, Van Gogh," Brains answered, and they hurried out as the medical vessel powered up.

"Okay, Boss," Kat said. "Here we go again."
