Frustrated, Barnaby contacts Samantha Thorne once again, only to learn that she’s abused her position as a data entry clerk to hack into the White House security net and learn that he’s just been fired. However, she warns him that if he turns her in for the security breach, he’ll never learn the truth about Paul Hunt. After evading secret agents who had been following Barnaby, Samantha tells him to meet her later by the old docks where she will tell him about Scorpius. Barnaby meets Samantha later as planned, but he’s been followed and is hit by weapons fire. Samantha manages to get Barnaby to a jet-boat she prepared earlier and escapes, but not before been hit herself. As Barnaby passes out from the pain, he realises that Samantha’s wound should have been fatal. | Frustrated, Barnaby contacts Samantha Thorne once again, only to learn that she’s abused her position as a data entry clerk to hack into the White House security net and learn that he’s just been fired.

Remembering what happened at the dock, he realises she is an Android, but is powerless to do anything: she is far faster and stronger than he, so escape or overpowering her are not possible. Earth is been flooded with refugees escaping the Orion conflict. These is an old penal colony on the Isle of White, which has been turned into a temporary refugee camp. Samantha has traced mysterious transmissions to the penal colony: a transmission made by Paul Hunt. The penal colony’s shore defences detect the boat, forcing them to abandon it and swim to shore. Barnaby does not trust her, but his preconceptions are shaken when a Cyberman walks past them on patrol and he recognises it from the hologram on Reticek IV. They are discovered by a Cyberman, but they claim to have wandered away from the rest of the refugees, and it herds them back to the camp. The refugees believe that they’re being taken to a medical base for vaccination shots and the Cybermen are soldiers wearing radiation protection suits. Barnaby and Samantha are taken into a treatment cell, where the first stage of Cyber-conversion begins and Barnaby’s emotions are suppressed. There is nothing to fear... | ||
