After the children finished playing on the Spacey Zoomer Ride, [[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor]] suddenly decided to stay on [[Hedgewick's World of Wonders]], stating that his attention had been drawn by "funny insects." [[Angie Maitland|Angie]] and [[Artie Maitland|Artie]] were left to sleep in [[Webley]]'s museum while the Doctor, [[Ludens Nimrod Kendrick Cord Longstaff XLI|Porridge]] and [[Clara Oswald|Clara]] investigated. | |||
At the same time, Webley took stock of his day's progress near the [[Cyberman]] he used for chess playing. Suddenly, the Cyberman came to life and pinned Webley's hands to the table. Several [[Cybermite]]s emerged from the Cyberman and proceeded to upgrade Webley. Growing bored, Angie decided to wander off on her own, leaving Artie alone in the museum. Observing the two and analyzing Angie's cell phone, the Cybermites were ordered to upgrade the children. Shortly after Angie left, a spooked Artie turned on the lights before being abducted by a Cyberman. | |||
As the Doctor investigated the surface of the planet, Porridge explained to Clara about the Cybermen and the history of the [[Cyber-Wars]] and the destruction of the Tiberian galaxy. The Doctor noticed Angie sneak into the [[punishment platoon]]'s barracks and warned Clara. Due to her boredom, Angie decided to bother the soldiers who had begun having problems with their equipment. While initially annoyed by Angie's presence, Captain [[Alice Ferrin]]'s interest was drawn when Angie mentioned "the little bloke" Porridge. Before Ferrin could question Angie too much on Porridge, they were interrupted by the Doctor and then the arrival of a Cyberman. The platoon tried to attack the Cyberman without much luck which resulted in it dodging their attacks and abducting Angie. Angie was taken to a partially-converted Webley and Artie who was under Cyber control and upgraded herself. | |||
In the aftermath, the Doctor stopped Clara from chasing after Angie and questioned Ferrin about her platoon's lack of fighting efficiency. Ferrin was forced to admit that they were a punishment platoon sent to Hedgewick's World of Wonders to be out of the way and not get into trouble. Annoyed, the Doctor used his claimed power as the Imperial Counsel to place Clara in charge of the platoon. The Doctor ordered Clara to find a defensible position while he went to rescue Angie and Artie and reiterated the order to her to not allow anyone to blow up the planet. | |||
Once the Doctor left, the platoon pulled their anti-Cybermen weaponry out of storage and Ferrin and Clara studied a map of Hedgewick's World for a defensible position. After learning that [[Natty Longshoe's Comical Castle]] was a real castle with a drawbridge and moat, Clara decided that it was their best bet for a defensible position. Ferrin warned Clara that while her platoon could deal with a single Cyberman, there were protocols for if they couldn't immediately find and destroy it, protocols that included the destruction of planet. Clara insisted on following the Doctor's plan, backed up by Porridge who confirmed Clara's new position as the platoon's new commander. With no way to contact the Imperium, Ferrin reluctantly agreed to retreat to the more defensible position of the castle. | |||
The Doctor returned to Webley's museum where he found a Cybermite and warned anyone watching that he was coming to rescue the children who were under his protection. The Doctor was able to use his [[sonic screwdriver]] to activate a [[transmat]] link in the Cybermite that transported him to the Cyber tombs. There he found Angie and Artie both under Cyber control and the partially-converted Webley. To the Doctor's shock, Webley stated that they needed children "but the children stopped coming" until the Doctor brought them Angie and Artie. Webley hailed the Doctor as the "savior of the Cybermen." | |||
As they made their way to the castle, Clara questioned Ferrin on what the Imperium would do if they knew of the threat. Ferrin insisted that she would be ordered to blow up the planet even with everyone still on it. Though the platoon expressed a desire to chase the Cyberman, Clara insisted on going with the Doctor's plan based on her past experiences with him. | |||
