"There's no way this weapons store will open," Owen said as he watched Toshiko work on the wiring.
"It's going to take six hours for the power to return online," Toshiko reported.
"Let me talk to her," Ianto reasoned. "I can still save her, save all of us. She's not a monster,"
Nightingale jumped when she heard the familiar sound and turned to see Lisa's cyber form standing in the hub. She moved to grab Ianto's hand as he walked to her. "Ianto!"
Ianto moved past the Gallifreyan "Lisa. It's me,"
"The army will be rebuilt from here." Lisa declared, "This building is suitable,"
"Who are you?" Jack asked.
"Human .2,"
"No!" Ianto shouted, "Lisa!"
"So how come you look like Human .1?" Nightingale voiced.
"I do not understand," Lisa said.
Nightingale moved forward. "Look at yourself." she nodded to a reflective surface. "Go ahead,"
"Remember, Lisa." Ianto said, "Remember who you are,"
"The upgrade is incomplete," Lisa said.
"You're still human,"
"I am...disgusting,"
Nightingale looked shocked hearing such vocabulary from a Cyberman.
"I have...I am...wrong,"
"We can help you," Nightingale spoke up.
"Gale!" Jack hissed.
Nightingale waved him off.
"I must start again." Lisa reasoned, "Upgrade properly,"
"For God's sake," Ianto exclaimed "Have you heard yourself? Lisa, please," he moved in front of the Cyberman. "I brought you here to heal you so we could be together,"
Lisa turned to face Ianto. "Together. Yes. Transplant my brain into your body. The two of us together, fused. We'll be one complete person. Isn't that what love is?"
Ianto shook his head sadly. "No,"
"Then we are not compatible,"
Nightingale pushed Ianto as Lisa moved at him. "You want compatibility?"
"Gale, don't," Jack warned.
"You may be incomplete, but I know there's still some cyber data in your brain."
"Who are you?" Lisa asked.
"I'm Nightingale, and I'm from the planet Gallifrey,"
Lisa's brow furrowed in thought until she grew stern and looked the Gallifreyan in the eyes. "You are compatible,"
"Catch me if you can," Nightingale ran, providing a distraction for the others to run to the upper level as well.
