Blackclad guards from the complex arrive, armed with machine guns and sporting similar Vshaped marks, and take Marsh away, knocking down Quatermass and ordering him away.Trying to discover what has happened to Marsh, Quatermass contacts Inspector Lomax John Longden, who had previously assisted him see The Quatermass Xperiment. Lomax puts him in touch with Vincent Broadhead Tom Chatto, a Member of Parliament, who has been trying to uncover the veil of secrecy surrounding Winnerden Flats. Quatermass joins Broadhead on an official tour of the complex, which he is told has been built to manufacture artificial food. Slipping away from the visiting party, Broadhead attempts to get inside one of the large domes that dominate the skyline. Quatermass later finds him dying, covered in a poisonous black slime. ........
