"You are not upgraded."
"Yeah? Well, upgrade this" Mrs Moore throws a small rod with copper wire around it at the Cyberman. It sticks to the metal and the Cyberman collapses.
"What the hell was that thing?" The Doctor asks.
"Electromagnetic bomb. Takes out computers, I figured it might stop the cyber-suit."
"You figured right. 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" I kneel down removing the logo on the chest of the Cyberman, but on the inside, is not just electronics.
"Is that flesh?" Mrs Moore asks.
"Hmmm. Central nervous system. Artificially grown then threaded throughout the suit so it responds like a living thing. Well, it is a living thing. Oh, but look. Emotional inhibitor. Stops them feeling anything" I say.
"But why?"
"It's still got a human brain. Imagine its reaction if it could see itself, realise itself inside this thing. They'd go insane" the Doctor replies.
"So, why do they cut out the one thing that makes them human?"
"Because they have to" I reply.
"Why am I cold?"
"Oh, my God. It's alive. It can feel."
"We broke the inhibitor. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" I say quietly.
"Why so cold?"
"Can you remember your name?" The Doctor asks.
"Sally. Sally Phelan."
"You're a woman" Mrs Moore says.
"Where's Gareth?"
"Who's Gareth?" Mrs Moore asks.
"He can't see me. It's unlucky the night before."
"You're getting married."
"I'm cold. I'm so cold."
"It's all right. You sleep now, Sally. Just go to sleep" I put my sonic screwdriver inside the chest cavity and switch her off "Sally Phelan didn't die for nothing, because that's the key. The emotional inhibitor. If we could find the code behind it, the cancellation code, then feed it throughout the system into every Cyberman's head, they'd realise what they are."
"And what happens then?"
"I think it would kill them. Could we do that?" The Doctor asks.
"We've got to. Before they kill everyone else. There's no choice. It's got to be done" Mrs Moore stands up and suddenly a Cybermen grabs her by the shoulder and electrocutes her.
"No! No, you didn't have to kill her!" I shout standing up, the Doctor grabs me by the hand and pulls me towards him.
"Sensors detect a binary vascular system. You are an unknown upgrade. You will be taken for analysis" the Cybermen take both the Doctor and I to the control room.
"We've been captured, but don't worry, Rose and Pete are still out there. They can rescue us" Rose and Pete walk towards them also being escorted by Cybermen "oh well, never mind. You okay?"
"Yeah. But they got Jackie" Rose says.
"We were too late. Lumic killed her" Pete adds.
"Then where is he, the famous Mister Lumic? Don't we get the chance to meet our Lord and Master?" I ask.
"He has been upgraded."
"So, he's just like you?" I ask crossing my arms.
"He is superior. The Lumic Unit has been designated Cyber Controller" a door opens and a Cyberman is wheeled out in an upgraded wheelchair.
