"They are unprogrammed. Restrain," They cyberman ordered

"You're lying." Pete argued "You're not her. You're not my Jackie!"

"No," it admitted "I am Cyber-form. Once I was Jacqueline Tyler,"

"But you can't be. Not her,"

"Her brain is inside this body,"

"Jacs, I came to save you,"

"These men worked with Cybus Industried to create our species. They will be rewarded by force. Take them to Cyber Control," the cyberman ordered and the trio were escorted away.

"They killed her. They just took her and killed her," Rose muttered

"Maybe there's a chance, I don't know. Maybe we can reverse it," Pete assured

Sam shook his head "There's nothing we can do,"

"But, if they remember. Where are they? Which one is it? Which one was her?"

"They all look the same," Rose said

Mickey and Jake dumped a guard's body onto the floor "Nice one." Jake told him "Nobody's home. Find the transmitter controls,"

"What do they look like?" Mickey asked

"Well, I don't know." Jake admitted "They might have Transmitter Controls written in big red letters. Just look!" The two looked around until Jake saw something in an alcove

"Cyberman!" he went up to it with a pistol, turning on the light

"It's dead." Mickey claimed "I don't think it was ever alive," to prove it he knocked on its head three times "It's empty. No brain. It's just a robot suit. It's for display,"

"Okay. Transmitter,"

"You are not upgraded," A cyberman claimed

"Yeah? Well, upgrade this," Mrs. Moore told it as she threw a small rod with copper wire wrapped around it at the Cyberman, causing it to spark and collapse.

"What the hell was that thing?" The Doctor questioned

"Electromagnetic bomb. Takes out computers, I figured it might stop the cyber-suit,"

"You figured right," The Doctor nodded impressed "Now, let's have a look. Know your enemy. A logo on the front. Lumic's turned them into a brand. Heart of steel, but look," he removed the logo on the chest, to reveal...

"Is that flesh?" I questioned revolted

"Hmm. Central nervous system. Artificially grown then threaded throughout the suit so it responds like a living thing. Well, it is a living." I cleared my throat so he would get back on track "Oh, but look. Emotional inhibitor. Stops them feeling anything,"

"But why?" Dean voiced

"It's still got a human brain. Imagine its reaction if it could see itself, realize itself inside this thing. They'd go insane,"

"So they cut out the one thing that makes them human,"

"Because they have to,"

"Why am I cold?" The Cyberman asked and I quickly hid my face into Dean's shoulder

"Oh, my God. It's alive. It can feel," Mrs. Moore said

"We broke the inhibitor. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry,"

"Why so cold?"

"Can you remember your name?"

"Sally. Sally Phelan,"

"You're a woman," Mrs. Moore stated

"Where's Gareth?"

"Who's Gareth?"

"He can't see me. It's unlucky the night before,"

"You're getting married," Dean muttered as his hold on me tightened

"I'm cold. I'm so cold,"

"It's all right. You sleep now, Sally. Just go to sleep," I heard the sonic screwdriver and silence and looked up at the Doctor

"Sally Phelan didn't die for nothing, because that's the key. The emotional inhibitor. If we could find the code behind it, the canellation code, then feed it throughout the system into every Cyberman's head, they'd realize what they are,"

"And what happens then?" Dean spoke up

"I think it would kill them. Could we do that?"

I looked the Doctor in the eye "Doctor...I think the real question is...could you do that?"

"Well, no matter we've got to." Mrs. Moore claimed "Before they kill everyone else. There's no choice, Doctor. It's got to be done," Mrs. Moore stood up a Cyberman grabbing her shoulder, electrocuting her

"No!" The Doctor shouted, Dean placing me protectively behind him "No, you didn't have to kill her!"

"Sensors detect a binary vascular system."

Dean looked at me confused "Two hearts," I admitted

"You are an unknown upgrade. You will be taken for analysis,"

"Doctor..."

"Do as it says," he ordered and we followed the Cyberman

"The transmitter controls are sealed behind here," Mickey told Jake "we need like an oxyacetylene or something,"

'Oh, and I forgot to bring it with me," Jake replied sarcastically

"Well then, what do we do?"

"We'll crash the Zeppelin,"

"With us inside it?"

"We could set it to automatic and then just leg it. Let's have a look," they looked at the controls "It's locked. There's got to be an override,"

"Let me have a go." Mickey told him "I'm good with computers. Trust me,"

"We've been captured, but don't worry," The Doctor told us as we followed the cyberman into the control room

"Doctor..." I told him

"Rose, Sam, and Pete are still out there. They can rescue us,"

"Doctor!" he looked back at me and I nodded towards where the said trio was

"Oh well, never mind."

"You okay?" I asked

"Yeah. But they got Jackie and Jess,"

"We were too late." Sam muttered "Lumic killed her,"

"Then where is he, the famous Mister Lumic? Don't we get the chance to meet our Lord and Master?" The Doctor quipped

"He has been upgraded,"

"So he's just like you?"

"He is superior. The Lumic Unit has been designated Cyber Controller," a door opened and a Cyberman was wheeled out in an upgraded wheelchair

"This is the Age of Steel and I am its Creator,"
