Tardisode 5
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Tardisode 5 is the fifth of the Tardisode series of mini-episode prologues to Doctor Who Series 2. This Tardisode is a prelude to the episode, Rise of the Cybermen.
Synopsis
A mission briefing from Gemini calls all Preacher agents into action. It describes Cybus Industries, John Lumic, the head of Cybus Industries, and his latest "upgrade" - the Cybermen. It also tells how thousands of people have gone missing. The briefing ends, and the laptop it was playing on is closed by Ricky Smith (Mickey's counterpart on the parallel Earth), who drives away in a van just as an advertisement for Cybus Industries is heard on the radio, announcing: "Coming soon, the ultimate upgrade"...
