"I think we should keep a close eye on her, Theta. Just to make sure."
"This way, Doctor, Celestia." Deeva told them, leading the way
"What's that noise?" Celestia asked.
"I'm reading an energy discharge about five metres ahead." Deeva informed them.
"Turn that off. Let's take a look." The Doctor suggested as the beeping noise got louder. They heard The Cyberleader who had a deep electronic voice.
"Why has my revival been delayed?" Cyberleader asked.
"There was a systems failure, caused by an external influence, Leader." Cyberman told him.
"Then it must be corrected. What was the reason for the activation signal?" Cyberleader asked.
"A ship is drifting alongside." Cyberman explained.
"Its crew must be captured and Cyber-converted. Continue the revival programme." Cyberleader commanded.
"Yes, Leader." Cyberman obeyed.
"Now we're really in trouble. We've got to find the Tardis." The Doctor said.
"Tardis?" Deeva asked.
"Our ship." He said, pointing between himself and Celestia. "It should be safe to re-enter it by now."
"Your Tardis" Celestia corrected him.
"Our Tardis." He said again.
"Safe?" Deeva questioned.
"Come on." The Doctor said. "Did you notice that they were reviving Cybermen one at a time?" He asked them.
"Yes. Could it be some kind of emergency measure?" Deeva guessed.
"Yes, which means that they haven't fully reactivated their" Celestia said but Deeva cut her off.
"Doctor, Celestia, I'm picking up movement, close by." She told them.
"Let me see." The Doctor said as he took a closer look at the tracker, pulling Celestia with him. "Moving towards us."
"Cybermen?" Deeva asked.
"Cybermen. How close to" Celestia was cut off by a Cyberman.
"Resistance is useless." It said.
"Ah, that close." He answered to Celestia.
"Blocking our way back to the Tardis. Quick, we'll have to make for the airlock. Run!" The Doctor shouted at them, tightening his grip on Celestia's hand as cyberguns fired.
"How far now?" Celestia asked.
"About another two hundred metres. Take the next left." Deeva said.
"Oh! I've got bad news." The Doctor said.
"What?" Deeva asked.
"Cybermen run faster than people." The Doctor explained.
"There's the airlock." Deeva pointed.
"Oh!" The Doctor saw where she was pointing.
"Are you all right?" Celestia asked him.
"Just a little singed." The Doctor told her.
"Wait, let me help you." Celestia told him as she put her hands in his temple, making him feel better instantly.
"Thank you." He said as he took her hands and pressed a gentle kiss on them, making her look at him warmly.
"Get your helmets on and help me open the pressure door." Deeva told them as the door scrapes opened. They put their helmets on
"Is this far enough?" The Doctor asked.
