Summary
Drifting lifelessly through space Kroton the Cyberman passes through a miasmic cloud that hides a cruiser ship the Flying Dutchman II. Taken aboard he is recharged by the passengers (including Willoughby, Rolf, Krylic, Leonart and 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.
