The Doctor, Sarah
and Harry return to the space station only to find that they
are in a completely different time period. The station, known
as Nerva, is now fulfilling its original function as a space
beacon, in orbit around a mysterious planetoid. It is in the
grip of a strange plague which has reduced the crew to a mere
handful. The Doctor discovers that the plague is carried by Cybermats
- deadly machines built by the cybermen -introduced to the station
by a traitor, Kellman. The planetoid is all that is left of Voga,
the planet of gold, which was instrumental in the defeat of the
Cybermen by the Humans in the Cyberwars centuries ago (gold is
deadly to Cybermen). The Vogans have bribed Kellman to attract
the remaining Cybermen to Nerva, where they can be blasted out
of existence by a Vogan missile, thus freeing the Vogans from
a life in hiding. But the Cybermen have other plans. They capture
the Doctor and the station crew and, after having attached bombs
to them, send them on a deadly errand to the core of Voga. The
Doctor eventually helps the Vogans defeat the Cybermen by the
use of gold dust. The rest of the Cybermen are destroyed by the
Vogan missile. The Doctor prevents Nerva from crashing down on
Voga. The TARDIS arrives and the Doctor finds an SOS from the
Brigadier. |
