Geography[[edit] | [edit source]]

It was London's Cyber-conversion centre and a base for the Cybermen created by John Lumic. Deep inside its structure, thousands of Cyber Conversion machines worked, cutting out the brains of London's population, "upgrading" them. It was here that Mr Crane, one of John Lumic's high-ranking employees, and his men created the first Cybermen before Lumic's arrival. Notable areas included Deepcold 6 and Cyber-Control.

Main article: Battle of Battersea Power Station

According to a telling of one source, "ChatGuest1" may have advised the readers of Defending the Earth! not to go Battersea Power Station. (GAME: Cybus Spy [+]Loading...["Cybus Spy (video game)"])

When London was taken over by the Cybermen in 2007, John Lumic took full authority over his factory. Shortly after, the Tenth Doctor and his allies entered the factory and were led to Cyber Control. There, they met the upgraded John Lumic, the Cyber-Controller, who was a little different from a standard Cyberman.

The Doctor used Rose Tyler's superphone to send a cancellation code to the emotional inhibitors of the Cybermen, with the mental trauma making them insane and destroying them all. As the entire building was engulfed in flames, the Doctor and his friends made their escape in the Cybus Industries Zeppelin. (TV: The Age of Steel [+]Loading...["The Age of Steel (TV story)"])
