    "Mum, Dad," called little five year old Sophia Jaclyn McCoy as she rushed down the stairs to the kitchen, "You'll never believe what I found."
  
    "What did you find, dearest?" Mum asks from her place by the sink.
    Sophie pulls her hand from behind he back, revealing a metal stick. "I was playing in the garden and this fell from the sky, and landed at my feet. It's my magic wand."

    "That's amazing, sweetie," Dad says after he takes a sip of his tea. He proceeds to pick up the newspaper. "Dear, look at this," he says now addressing Mum, "Three more people have gone missing."

    Sophie's dad is a police officer. He keeps track of missing people and things. Sophie doesn't care about missing people. She thinks everyone should care about her 'magic wand.' What the girl didn't know was the disappearances and the magic wand had something in common.

    The 'magic wand' was in fact a Cyberman databank, or infostamp, and not just any databank. This one detailed about the greatest enemy of the Cybermen. The 'man' who always thwarted the cyberplots at every turn. This 'man' whose true name could destroy the universe.

    This 'man' is not a man at all. He's an alien, with two hearts, and too many emotions. This man is The Doctor.

*Meanwhile in Space*

    Two Cybermen came into the main control room of the Cybership. Dragging along between them was a being. It's skin is grey and it is wearing a olive green jumpsuit.

    From the main control panel turns another Cyberman. He is taller than the others and exudes an aura of authority. He is not just an ordinary Cyberman, but the Cyberleader.

    "You have lost our infostamp? We have offered you life with your emotions and family if you help us and this is how you repay us? You will be deleted." The Cyberleader declared

    The lone unmettalic being onboard the ship squeezed it's eyes shut. It began stuttering apologies and begging for leniency. The Cybermen didn't care. They had no need for apologies or emotions. They had been given an order and would follow it out. The beings stuttered apologies died on his lips as he breathed his last.

     "We must move up our plans of invasion, prepare the troops Cyberlieutenant. Power up the cyberconversion units."

    One of the other Cybermen on the bridge turned toward the control panel in front of him. He powered up the cyberconversion units and started the engines. The Cybermen began step one of the  upgrade of Earth today.
