Drifting lifelessly through space [[Kroton (Cyberman)|Kroton]] the [[ | Drifting lifelessly through space, [[Kroton (Throwback: The Soul of a Cyberman)|Kroton]] the [[Cyberman]] passes through a [[time warp]] (which looked like a miasmic cloud) that hides a cruiser ship the ''[[Flying Dutchman II]]''. Taken aboard he is recharged by [[Willoughby (Ship of Fools)|Willoughby]], [[Rolf]], [[Krylic]], [[Leonart]] and [[Cassandra (Ship of Fools)|Cassandra]]. All of them are caught in a timeless existence, bored and seeking a release. Kroton offers to help them and reactivates the robot pilot to take them to a nearby planet and breaking the time warp. Unfortunately they had been trapped 628 years and rapidly age to death. Kroton is once again drifting alone in space, with only the robot pilot for company. | ||
