===On Mondas=== | |||
A [[Cyber-Scout (The Dead Heart)|Cyber-Scout]] was sent in a [[Cyber-Scout craft (The Dead Heart)|Cyber-Scout craft]] on a mission to find the [[Lizard King]]s. Crashing in a [[jungle]], the [[scout]] encountered a [[village]] of [[human]] [[Mondasian]]s, who believed it to be a [[servant]] of the [[god]]s. [[Raven (The Dead Heart)|Raven]], a [[heretic]], was selected by their [[religious]] leader to accompany the scout on its mission to find the Lizard Kings. At the edge of the [[Blisterland]]s, they encountered a [[cybernetic]] [[dinosaur]] which conveyed them to the [[Dead Heart of the World]], an underground base. Inside, they revived [[Kho'dja]], an augmented Lizard King, who told them the [[history]] of [[Mondas]]: the [[planet]] departed from its [[orbit]] when its [[Earth|sister planet]] gained [[The Moon|its moon]]; the Lizard Kings dominated the world but became lazy and corrupt; they used their technology to augment [[ape]]s into [[ape-servant|cybernetic servant]]s; and, finally, they entered [[suspended animation]] until they world would return to its original orbit, but instead the apes had [[evolve]]d and taken over. The Cyberman [[kill]]ed Kho-Dja, declared that Mondas would belong to the [[Cyber-race]], and had Raven placed in a [[conversion unit]].

Manning a [[Cyber-Scout craft (The Prodigal Returns)|Cyber-Scout craft]], a [[Cyber-Scout (The Prodigal Returns)|Cyber-Scout]] was sent on a mission to travel through a [[cosmic cloud]] that appeared the same time an [[Ape-servant (The Prodigal Returns)|ape]] had arrived, to find the [[ape]]'s [[home planet]] and convert their [[species]]. The Cyberman came through the cloud and was fired at by missiles by the [[Lizard King]]s on Mondas, in an era before Mondas broke away from [[Earth]]. The missiles missed the Cyber-Scout craft, but the recoil injured it and damaged its [[voicebox]]. Noticing the Cyberman's technology was not unlike their own, the Lizard Kings decided to study the Cyber-Scout through [[vivisection]] and sent an ape-servant into the cloud to its world. The ape-servant inside the craft was the same ape that inspired the Cybermen to send the Cyber-Scout through the cosmic cloud in Mondas' future.

On [[Telos]], Scouts usually patrolled a set route. They were targeted by [[Stratton]] and [[Bates (Attack of the Cybermen)|Bates]].
