Tracing an alien signal to [[1930s]] [[Berlin]], the Doctor became separated from Benny when she went to investigate disappearances with [[Wulf]] and traced the source of the signal to the [[Conformity Institute]]. There he discovered a [[Cyber-Planner]] and convinced it to deactivate its emotional inhibitor to prove its superiority. After it had a meltdown he killed it by removing a component and, after initially forgetting she'd gone, went in search of Benny. With the reluctant aid of Wulf's employer, he located her in a [[Cyberman]] base and intervened just in time to save her from [[Cyber-conversion]], using the component from the Planner to flood the Cybermen's brains with nonsense so they would close down. He took Benny back to the TARDIS to help her recover. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Willkommen (audio story)|Willkommen]]'') He re-programmed the nanites the Cybermen had implanted in her to defend her in the event of them trying to convert her.

The Doctor met up with Benny after she tracked down the partially-converted Wulf to his village. After she asked for some work to do to take her mind off things, he told her he had something to show herm ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Wulf (audio story)|Wulf]]'') taking her to a museum in Berlin where an ancient rock gave off alien particles. They joined an archaeological expedition, unaware they were Nazi occulists, which was digging up the site the rock had been found in search of "the Vril". They discovered the dig site was actually a Cyberman intelligence trap but were unable to stop the Nazi archaeologists activating it. The Doctor attempted to use a golden statue against the awakened Cybermen, however the Cybermen revealed it and the particles had been planted deliberately to lure him and make him believe he could stop them. Whilst Benny fled, the Cybermen injected him with [[Cyber-nanites]] to attempt to convert him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Übermensch (audio story)|Übermensch]]'') The Doctor continued to resist the nanites, working to rewrite them to attack Cyber technology instead. As he did this, the Cybermen attempted to force his compliance by parading victims in front of him at a club in Berlin and converting them as he kept refusing. Eventually they captured Benny and he kept up his resistance, letting them put her in a conversion chamber. With a final handshake he combined her nanites with his own, and as he planned they saved her from conversion and attacked the Cybermen. The Doctor then repurposed the hypnotic pulse the Cybermen had used to subdue Berlin to kill all the Cybermen. Solemn at the outcome of these events, he and Benny departed.
