The Cybermen have awakened in our universe, and together with something from the Doctor's past, the Earth isn't safe...
Summary
Dr Singh, Mickey Smith and Rose Tyler are trapped in a sealed room within Torchwood Tower as the four Daleks who have emerged from the void ship approach them, with a vaguely Dalek-shaped artefact following. As they cry out their intent to exterminate, Rose surprises them by calling out their name. She approaches the black Dalek and offers to tell them how she knows about the Daleks and the Time War if they keep them alive. The black Dalek decides that they are necessary and asks about the status of the artefact — which it calls the Genesis Ark. It orders the awakening to begin and declares that the Ark must be protected above all else.
The Cybermen hold Jackie, Yvonne, and the Doctor hostage. The Cyber-Leader demands to speak to the world leader. Yvonne tells the leader they don't have one, and the Cyber-Leader tells her they have one now. It interrupts all television to make a message in which it promises to convert all humans into Cybermen. There apears to be Cybermen in every home on Earth. The Cybermen then notice other lifeforms in the building and two are sent down to the Void Room to investigate. At the Same time, the Daleks notice lifeform readings and send Dalek "Thay" to investigate. The Cybermen and the Dalek meet in the corridor outside the Void Room. The Doctor, Jackie, Rose and Mickey can see them both through video transmissions and the Doctor is visibly stunned to see the Dalek...
The Cybermen ask that the Daleks identify themselves and the Daleks demand the same. Neither comply and their is a stand-off, which Mickey describes as "Stephen Hawking vs. The Speaking Clock". The Daleks accidentally slip up, but remember the Cybermen from a previously unseen event. The Cybermen and the Daleks exchange insults until the Cybermen offer to upgrade the Daleks and overtake Earth together. The Dalek kills the two Cybers. The Cyber-Leader taks to "Dalek Sec" and tells him that this is war. 5,000,000 cybermen against 4 daleks. The daleks are unfrightened.
After a brief conversation with the Doctor about Rose's safety, Jackie is dragged away to be upgraded along with Yvonne Hartman. The Doctor promises he will save Jackie, and get her out alive before she is taken away. The Cyber Leader comments on how the Time Lord is proof of how emotions weaken humans.The Doctor replies by saying he still feels hope, and in that instant a team with guns suddenly appears and destoys all Cybermen in the Breach Room. The leader reveals himself to be Jake Simmonds.
The black Dalek "Sec" asks which one of the three is least important. Rose refuses to answer, but Dr Singh volunteers, knowing he is of no importance compared to the two time travellers. They ask him to kneel down and say they need to know everything they can. Dr Singh begins to respond but they say that speech is not required. All four Daleks place their "hands" around his skull and stretch his brain.A few minutes later, his mutilated corpse drops to the floor.
