Summary
While the Doctor meditates, the free-floating TARDIS is scooped up by a junk-collecting spaceship the Drifter piloted by scrap merchants Flotsam and Jetsam and their windmill-powered robot Dutch. The Doctor emerges from the TARDIS rather annoyed at being disturbed, but is even more annoyed to find a deactivated Cyberman. Flotsam and Jetsam have a lucrative side business collecting deactivated and dead Cybermen, reprogramming them, and selling them as butlers. The dormant Cyberman, however, awakens and steals the TARDIS with Jetsam inside. As the Doctor, Flotsam and Dutch attempt to track the TARDIS in the Drifter, the Cyberman pilots the TARDIS to remote planet AS4, at the site of the wrecked command ship of a long-lost Cyberfleet. The Cyberman orders Jetsam to restore the inactive cybernaut Zogron to function, with the ambition of rebuilding a Cyber-army that would rule Time and Space via the TARDIS. Jetsam manages to reactivate Zogron, but he has programmed him as an enormous butler, infuriating the Cyberman by offering him a before-dinner sherry. The Drifter lands nearby, and Dutch destroys the Cyberman by coating it in quick-setting polymer paint. The Doctor leaves in the TARDIS, hoping Flotsam and Jetsam never find a Dalek...
