Later, as the Doctor and Olga rest and recover, the Doctor goes for a quick walk and returns with [[Anti-radiation pill|anti-radiation pills]] for all the villagers. He then reveals his plan to Olga of going back into the tunnels. On the way, he mentions [[Bubonic plague]] and how it came to be associated with the legendary Plague Warriors after the object, really a [[Cyber Ship]], crashed into the church. The Doctor hypothesises that the Cybermen who survived the crash began scavenging any materials they could find in attempts to recover. The pair eventually come across the Cyber Ship where Drettle and Worm are scavenging Cyber parts for the Watchman. The ship is in emergency lighting as it stores power collected from the lighting storms, caused by the Cybermen seeding the atmosphere to create storms. The Doctor guesses the ship is either a colonisation ship or a military vessel as the two of the come across dozens of compartments containing hibernating Cybermen. Before too long, some Cybermen gain enough power to wake up and give chase to the Doctor and Olga. | Later, as the Doctor and Olga rest and recover, the Doctor goes for a quick walk and returns with [[Anti-radiation pill|anti-radiation pills]] for all the villagers.

One of the Cybermen is fought off but the other, aided by [[Cyber Wolves]] (converted dogs that had gone missing from the village), continues its pursuit. Caught off guard, Drettle is killed by the Cyberman and Worm is killed by the Cyber Wolves but the Doctor and Olga manage to outrun them and head back to the Watchman's workshop. The Watchman is less than happy to see them. The Doctor looks behind a curtain and finds a damaged Cyberman's head which begins screaming when exposed to light. The same head has been instructing the Watchman on all his recent projects, acting as a sort of Oracle. Lord and Lady Ernhard appear to find out what is going on when another Cyberman invades the workshop, holding a power converter, declaring “We will revive.” Lord Ernhardt confronts the Cyberman and gets into a fight with it, eventually destroying it as the Doctor grabs the power converter, but then the Cyberhead takes control of Ernhardt's cybernetic hand. The Watchman is killed and the hand goes after the power converter but Lady Ernhardt manages to tear it off and smash it. The Doctor does the same with the power converter but he realises the power has already been sent to the Cyber Chip. | One of the Cybermen is fought off but the other, aided by [[Cyber Wolf|Cyber Wolves]] (converted dogs that had gone missing from the village), continues its pursuit.

Escorted by Caplan and the guards, the Doctor and Olga head back to the tavern where a plan of attack is devised. The villagers will act as a distraction for any Cybermen while the Doctor and Olga infiltrate the Cyber Ship again and disable the power. A quick strike is made in the tunnels but when more Cybermen turn out to be active than the Doctor and anticipated, the strike force retreats back to the surface. The Doctor rallies the villagers again and Lord and Lady Ernhardt show up to fight as well. Lady Ernhardt goes with the Doctor and Olga while the villagers fight off the Cybermen in attempts to drain their power from the Cyber Ship. He gives Olga another non-radioactive pill and takes one himself, but not to Lady Ernhardt who is shocked when the Doctor reveals she is a robot. The real Marie Ernhardt died at childbirth and the Watchman built another with her memories. Just then, a Cyberman guarding the churchyard attacks but Lady Ernhardt, despite receiving some damage herself, rips it apart. The Doctor patches her up and then quickly slips deeper into the tunnel. | Escorted by Caplan and the guards, the Doctor and Olga head back to the tavern where a plan of attack is devised.
