Request: Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart can handle anything-even the Apocalypse. Inclusion of the Doctor (any era except Six; Three would be AWESOME) is not necessary, although I'd prefer no Ten/Rose if you decide to include Ten.
Notes: This is the second pinch-hit I wrote for
apocalyptothon.  Initially I was writing a story based around the events in Terror of the Autons, but as the deadline approached I realized it wasn’t working.  Last night I had a minor panic attack, scrapped what I had as a lost cause, comforted myself with chocolate and a viewing of Battlefield, and wrote this story, uhm, today.  Oops?  I am an American who has watched a lot of Doctor Who.  Due to the deadline, I was not able to find a Britpicker in time, so I hope you’ll forgive any odd Americanisms that crop up (feel free to point them out).  Thank you for your indulgence!

Summary: The Brigadier learns the burden that comes from knowing the future, yet not acting upon it.

( The trouble with facing the Apocalypse was that there were so damned many of them. )
