(September 1940) Brian is reprimanded, first by Francis for a newspaper story about the section that the 2IC believes injures the dignity of the service, then by Major Luckhurst for his reckless behaviour when defusing a low-priority bomb. Brian becomes acquainted with a new officer, Ken Machin, who is assigned to his tutelage and billeted with him. Ken introduces Brian to his wife. They are sent on a hastily developed course on bomb disposal where they learn that the boffins have developed a powerful electromagnetic 'clockstopper' to counter the type 17 fuse.
