Tensa

Chairman Tensa was a Dulcian who was called upon by the planet's ruling Council to propose a plan of action in the face of the Dominators' invasion. He was regarded as competent in handling natural disasters, but Director Senex wondered whether he could handle a crisis involving parties whose motives were explicitly antagonistic to Dulcian interests. Given the choices of fighting, fleeing or submitting to the Dominators, Tensa recommended simply waiting. Whether this policy was officially adopted by the Council is unclear, but it accurately describes the action actually taken. Consequently, the Dulcian Council was effectively sidelined, allowing the Second Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe to lead Cully and the Dulcian students on the atomic test island to counter the Quarks and Dominators.
