''to be | [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|The Brigadier]] visits a research base in the [[abbey]] [[vault]]s on [[Inchcolm]] to advise on a haunting. [[Jane Wardie|Commander Jane Wardie]] explains that they are developing a [[stealth drive]] for [[HMS Columba|HMS ''Columba'']] and that staff have been leaving because of reports of frightened voices following a strange metallic sound. She introduces him to [[Cameron Lawther]], who takes him to the cliffs where he heard a boy singing ''[[We're No' Awa' Tae Bide Awa']]''. The Brigadier sees and hears the boy. | ||
During the [[Ferry Fair Festival]] in [[South Queensferry]], [[Ninth Doctor|the Doctor]] briefly meets [[Sam Bishop|Sam]] when he mistakes [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] for a [[coffee]] booth and again when the Doctor mistakes [[the Burryman]] for a [[monster]]. Sam's girlfriend, [[Fiona McCall|Fiona]], explains to the Doctor what the Burryman is and makes Sam take him with them to Inchcolm, [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]] having picked up data related to the Brigadier in that direction. On the way, Fiona explains that she and Sam met on Inchcolm when she missed the last [[ferry]] whilst doing an archaeological survey and the Doctor wonders what he was doing there. | |||
Upon arriving on the island, the Doctor saves the Brigadier from falling from the cliffs in the [[fog]] and finds that the boy is inaudible on the Brigadier's sound recording. Sam and Fiona hurry to help, having heard the Brigadier's cry, and Fiona helps the Doctor realise that the metallic sound that precedes the voices is that of [[rail]] reverberating before a [[train]] passes. The four of them head to South Queensferry for the Doctor to visit the TARDIS before heading to [[Inchgarvie]], an island beneath the [[Forth Bridge]], to try to understand the phenomenon. | |||
On Inchgarvie, Sam is apparently possessed by somebody who died of [[caisson disease]] whilst building the bridge and collapses as a train passes overhead. The Doctor plans on using a [[Memory Arch]] to create a backup of the [[memory|memories]] imprinted upon the bridge before using an [[electromagnetic pulse]] to wipe it and Sam flies to Inchcolm base to requisition an EMP generator with the Brigadier's authority. Fiona protests, believing that to blank the bridge would be to erase history, and encounters [[Kreel (Way of the Burryman)|Kreel]], a [[Mondasian]] [[Cyberman]], after storming off. Sam returns with the EMP generator and the Doctor uses it and the Memory Arch on the bridge. | |||
The Doctor, the Brigadier and Sam hear Fiona's cries and go to help her. Kreel reveals that he and a partner were surveying [[planet]]s when they were separated by [[time distortion]] and he landed on [[Earth]]; he has built the [[Forth Generation]], a legion of red Cybermen who held onto their identities until the Doctor wiped the bridge of its memories. They have been sleeping in the hollow struts but now emerge, asking for their orders. The Doctor realises that he has made a terrible mistake. | |||
