=The Age of Steel: Part One=
The Doctor points the recharging TARDIS power cell at the Cybermen, who get bent backwards by the energy. "What the hell was that?" RIckey asked. "We'll have that instead. Run!" the Doctor said, and Miss Moore's van honks, "Everybody in!" "I've got to go back in, my wife's in there," Pete said. "Anyone inside that house is dead. If you want to help, then don't let her die for nothing. You've got to come with us right now," the Inventor told him. "Come on! Get a move on!" Miss Moore yelled. "Rose, she's not your mother," the Doctor said. "I know," Rose agreed. "Come on!" the Doctor said. "FInished chatting?" Miss Moore asked, "Never seen a slower getaway in my life!" They get in the van and it drives off.
"What was that thing?" Rickey asked. "Little bit of technology from our home," the Inventor answered. "It's stopped glowing," Mickey realized, "Has it run out?" "It's on a revitalizing loop. It'll charge back up in about for hours," the Doctor replied. "Right. So, we don't have a weapon anymore," Rickey said. "Yeah, we've got weapons. Might not be one of those metal things, but they're good enough for men like him," Jake answered. "Leave him alone. What's he done wrong?" Rose stepped up. "Oh, you know, just laid a trap that's wiped out the government and left Lumic in charge," Jake explained. "If I was part of all that, do you think I'd leave my wife inside?" Pete countered. "Maybe your plan went wrong. Still gives us the right to execute you, though," Rickey said. "Talk about executions, you'll make me your enemy-" the Doctor started. "And me!" the Inventor added. "And take some good advice, you don't want to do that," the Doctor finished. "All the same, we have evidence that says Pete Tyler's been working for Lumic since twenty point five," Rickey said. "Is that true?" Rose asked. "Tell them, Miss M," Rickey told her. "We've got a government mole who feeds us information. Lumic's private files, his South American operations, the lot. Secret broadcasts twice a week," Miss Moore explained. "Broadcast from Gemini?" Pete asked. "And how do you know that?" Rickey asked. "I'm Gemini, that's me," Pete answered. "Yeah, well, you would say that," Rickey scoffed. "Encrypted wavelength six five seven using binary nine. That's the only reason I was working for Lumic, to get information. I thought I was broadcasting to the Secret Services. What do I get? Scooby Doo and his gang. They've even got the van," Pete said. "No, no, no. But the Preachers know what they're doing. Rickey said he's London's Most Wanted," Mickey piped up. "Yeah, that's not exactly..." Rickey trailed off. "Not exactly what?" Mickey asked. "I'm London's Most Wanted for parking tickets," Rickey finished. "Great," Pete said. "Yeah, they were deliberate. I was fighting the system. Park anywhere, that's me," Rickey agreed. "Good policy. I do the same. I'm the Doctor, by the way, if anyone's interested," the Doctor said. "I'm the Inventor. But you can call me Irene," the Inventor said. "Irene?" the Doctor asked. The Inventor shrugged and grinned, "Sounds cool." "That, it does," the Doctor agreed. "And I'm Rose. Hello," Rose introduced herself. "Even better. That's the name of my dog. Still, at least I've got the catering staff on my side," Pete said. "I knew you weren't a traitor," Rose told him. "Why is that, then?" Pete asked. "I just did," Rose shrugged. "They took my wife," Pete sighed. "She might still be alive," Rose said. "That's even worse. Because that's what Lumic does, he takes the living and turns them into those machines," Pete said. "Cybermen. They're called Cybermen. And I'd take those earpods off, if I were you. You never know, Lumic could be listening," the Doctor explained, sonicing the earpods, "But he's overreached himself. He's still just a businessman. He's assassinated the President. All we need to do is get to the city and inform the authorities. Because I promise you, this ends tonight."
"My everlasting children. Tell me, how does it feel?" Lumic asked. "We feel nothing," a Cyberman said. "But in your mind, what do you think?" Lumic clarified. "We think the same, we are uniform," the Cyberman answered. "But you think of what?" Lumic asked. "We think of the humans. We think of their difference and their pain. They suffer in the skin. They must be upgraded," the Cyberman answered. "Excellent. Then let's begin. Computer, identify John Lumic," Lumic said. "Voice print acknowledged," the computer said. "Activate earpod primary sequence," he ordered. "Please state area of activation," the computer said. "The City of London. I've just declared independence. Begin transmission. You will come to me, my dear children. The Immortal Ones." "All of London has been sealed off. There are reports of an army, an army of metal men. All citizens should remove their earpods. I repeat, remove all earpods. London has been placed under martial law. If you're hearing this, stay in your homes. I repeat, stay in your homes," a reporter said on the television.
