== Plot ==
== Plot ==
In the castle on [[Sylvaniar]], [[Sixth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Captain]] [[Krogh]] discover a [[Cyberman]] with a [[human]] arm and leg attacking Director [[Rukh]]. Krogh's attack is easily deflected, but when two guards enter with the recently attacked Dr [[Sovak]], the Cyberman flees through a curtain. The curtain is against a solid wall, but the Doctor finds a secret passage. Dr [[Kravaal]] follows the Doctor and Krogh through the passage. The three find Dr Sovak manufacturing Cybermen in a secret laboratory. Sovak, who had faked his earlier attack, explains that some peasants took him to a crashed space vessel, where he discovered four damaged Cybermen. He has been rebuilding them with body parts taken from the kidnapped peasants.

Sovak orders his Cybermen to attack so he can control the castle, but he and they are electrocuted. Kravaal explains Sovak always had a problem with "heavy duty electrics". The electrics have caused a fire in the castle, and the Doctor frees [[Peri]] and [[Frobisher]] so they can escape in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]. Unfortunately, Frobisher reveals he is suffering from [[mono-morphia]] and is stuck as a [[penguin]].
