This was a double first, being the first Big Finish story to feature the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]], and the first Eighth Doctor story to feature the Cybermen. This is also another of Big Finish's stories which was originally created as part of the [[Audio Visuals]], a fan produced series which featured many people who went onto create and work for Big Finish and [[BBV Productions]]. [[Nicholas Briggs]] filled many roles in the production of this story — he provided the voice of the Cybermen, sound design, music, direction, and writing; his appearance as the voice of the Cybermen here predates [[TV]]: ''[[Rise of the Cybermen (TV story)|Rise of the Cybermen]]''.

Meanwhile, the others see that the security systems are back online and there's a signal in the star destroyer's stern. The Doctor, Chev and Vol return to the others and Jansen asks the Doctor to join her on her salvage on the star destroyer. The others refuse and Grash accuses Jansen of endangering her whole crew and suddenly holds her at gunpoint and orders Ike and Vol to their stations and get them out of here. They reluctantly obey and set course for the Garazone system, but there is a malfunction—the engines are dead. The Doctor sees that the intruder as sabotaged the Vanguard's engines. Jansen and the Doctor decide to go onboard the star destroyer, but Grash orders Charley to stay behind and won't be waiting for them as soon as he gets the engines repaired.

The Doctor and Jansen enter the star destroyer and the Doctor asks Jansen why she cam here. Jansen says that this would be worth a lot in salvage. The Doctor hears a noise and tells Jansen to keep her gun in handy.

Meanwhile, Ike and Grash discuss about the Doctor and Charley and Ike recognises them from his shop earlier. Chev asks why didn't the Doctor and Charley say that recognise Ike and report to Jansen, but Ike doesn't know. Grash [[deduce]]s that they could blow this operation. Vol reports that the engines remain unresponsive. Grash orders Vol and Ike to go down to the engine room and repair the main drive. Charley says that whatever is down there could be hostile, which is why Grash will be sending Charley down there as bait.
