The Doctor | [[Second Doctor|The Doctor]] and [[Jamie McCrimmon]] have landed at an [[Exposition (Error 404)|expo]]. The Doctor says he loves the pristine smell of new [[science]] in the morning. Jamie says that is is a shame [[Zoe Heriot|Zoe]] will be missing it and that she will be angry. The Doctor realises he has made a terrible mistake. Jamie asks what he is on about, and the Doctor tells him that he was supposed to drop bring Zoe and drop Jamie off where she is now. Jamie berates the Doctor for confusing Zoe and him. The Doctor corrects him that he confused Jamie with Zoe. Jamie asks if they should fetch her and where he dropped her off, to which the Doctor replies that he dropped her off at a quaint [[Scottish]] manor, but that they should take a look around first. | ||
Jamie asks the Doctor what kind of place they are at, since it is so polished and posh. The Doctor says they are at a [[technological]] exposition, a place to showcase the future. Jamie asks if [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] doesn’t already do that. The Doctor says that there are certain points in [[time]] where you have to watch how and not what. Jamie asks what he is now on about. The Doctor says that he can almost remember, saying this is a special one and that [[mankind]] is… but he is interrupted as the main man of the event speaks. [[Mark Biolage]] says that today is a day that will be recorded in mankind's history, and humanity has taken many steps out of the [[cave]]s of their [[Neanderthal|ancestors]], with [[Quantum computer|quantum computing]], the biggest step so far, unveiling the [[Biola- (Error 404)|Biola]]- but he is interrupted by a loud [[teleportation]] sound. | Jamie asks the Doctor what kind of place they are at, since it is so polished and posh.

Mark Biolage says he cannot believe that his big unveiling is getting ruined by these things. The Doctor gets his attention and Mark asks him who he is. The Doctor presents himself and says he wants to help out. Mark asks him if he can stop them, to which the Doctor says he has his best man on the job and says he wants to know something else. Mark says that if the Doctor can get those things away from his chip, he’ll tell him anything. The Doctor asks how they can damage the chip to lower its output to avoid the Cybermen getting the full version. Mark is shocked that he dares talk about sabotage, but the Cybercontroller interrupts, having located the enemies, ordering fire. | Mark Biolage says he cannot believe that his big unveiling is getting ruined by these things.

He ponders that he could dig a hole and make a fire. He quickly realises he would need a [[shovel]] and [[wood]], so that’s a no. He ponders if he should just hit one of the silver beasties from behind, but stops himself as that is not what the Doctor told him, telling himself he just needs to get the golden thingies and not let the Doctor down. A Cyberman utters to locate the enemies. Jamie ponders that maybe he can take one down. | ||
Mark asks the Doctor if his best man by any chance is the guy attacking them from behind. The Doctor, frustrated, asks out in thin air why Jamie is so impulsive, then tells Mark that he is going to distract them and asks Mark to go help Jamie. Mark asks with what, and the Doctor tells him that he needs to melt the devices Jamie has and put them in the [[ventilation]] system. Mark says that that sounds mad, but the Doctor tells him that he deals in madness, telling Mark to go help while the Doctor gets their attention. The Doctor shouts to the Cybermen to stop shooting, saying he can help open the display. The Cybercontroller analyzes voice records and confirms his identity as the Doctor. The Doctor replies that he is the one and only, asking if they can't solve this peacefully. | Mark asks the Doctor if his best man by any chance is the guy attacking them from behind.

The Doctor tells the Cybercontroller that they won't be able to pierce the defensive glass with their energy weapons. The Cybercontroller says that Cyberman technology is unmatched. The Doctor retorts that if that was the case they would not be here, saying that they need the chip because without constant upgrades, they would turn obsolete. The Cybercontroller simply says that those words are rallying cries of its people. The Doctor says that it can stop there and go back and be human again, there's still time. The Doctor continues, saying to think of it as a '''golden opportunity''' for its people and to strike '''gold''' and be as good as '''gold''', and have a '''golden''' [[heart]]. Jamie ponders that the Doctor is trying to tell him something. | The Doctor tells the Cybercontroller that they won't be able to pierce the defensive glass with their energy weapons.

The Cybercontroller says it does not know why the Doctor is trying to appeal to its emotions, to which the Doctor says that he knows the human is still in there and he is pleading for reconsideration. The Cybercontroller says that his words are weak much like his body, which they will break. The Doctor says that he is so sorry it has gotten to this point, but tells it to have it their way, shouting for Jamie to do it. The Cybercontroller asks what the Doctor's plan is, but the Doctor is stumbling on his words. Then a loud noise is heard.

Jamie apologises for the delay, saying the blasted thing did not want to work. The Cybercontroller reports contaminant detected, and to activate filter, but is too late. | ||
Jamie asks if all that was needed was a little gold for them to jam up. The Doctor says that they actually knew that from before but that he probably didn’t remember. Jamie says that he remembers, because the Doctor made him go look for the golden thingies. Mark thanks them for saving his… then asks where it is. A surviving Cyberman engages retreat protocols. Jamie says that he is escaping with the quamtum thing, but the Doctor tells Jamie to let him, saying he already sabotaged the chip, and they will upgrade, but not as much as they could have. He says that time remains as it should be but that some might not like his intervention. He then tells Jamie they better go. | Jamie asks if all that was needed was a little gold for them to jam up.
