Reinforcements are called from [[Telos]], including Junior Cyber-Leader [[Kroton (Throwback: The Soul of a Cyberman)|Kroton]]. Following his capture and interrogation, Willoway dies. Kroton is puzzled by his sacrifice and tracks down fellow rebels, [[Marilka]] and her lover [[Pendar]]. When the rebels are betrayed by the businessman [[Zarek]], Kroton helps Pendar escape and takes him away from the city. Suspecting Kroton's erratic behaviour, the [[Cyber-Leader (Throwback: The Soul of a Cyberman)|Cyber-Leader]] tracks them down. Turning against the Cybermen, Kroton helps the rebels escape to the safety of the [[Forest of Lorn]], then removes the craft and takes it into space. Without fuel, batteries drained and unable to return, Kroton drifts on. | ||
