The [[ | The '''[[death]] [[particle]]''' was a [[Cyber-weapon|weapon]] created by the [[Cyberium]] and [[Ashad]], as part of an attempt by Ashad at "ascending" the last surviving [[Cyber-Warrior|Cyber-Warriors]] into a purely [[Robot|robotic]] species. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'') | ||
== Characteristics == | |||
The death particle was created by the Cyberium "through" Ashad. It was a tiny, glowing red particle that pulsed like a [[Heart|heartbeat]], and was contained within the [[chest unit]] of Ashad's [[Cyber-body]]. Ashad strongly implied that, upon detonation, the death particle would destroy all [[Flesh|organic life]] in [[N-Space|the universe]], but after {{Dhawan}} used his [[Tissue Compression Eliminator]] to shrink Ashad and the death particle, the weapon's range was limited to a single [[planet]]. The death particle could be detonated by a powerful [[explosive]] at point-blank range, but could not be detonated by the Master's Tissue Compression Eliminator. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'') | |||
== History == | |||
The death particle was created in the immediate aftermath of the [[Cyber-Wars]] of the [[far future]] by the [[Cyberium]], which had been absorbed by [[Ashad]]. Having reactivated an army of tens of thousands of [[Cyber-Warrior|Cyber-Warriors]] contained within [[Cybercarrier (Ascension of the Cybermen)|a dormant Cybercarrier]], Ashad intended to detonate the death particle to destroy all [[Flesh|organic life]] in [[N-Space|the universe]]; to ensure the Cyber-Warriors' survival, Ashad erased their organic components, transforming the Cyber-Warriors into a purely [[Robot|robotic]] species, and intended to do the same to himself prior to the death particle's detonation. | |||
After arriving on [[Gallifrey]] by invitation of {{Dhawan}}, Ashad unveiled his plan to the [[Time Lord]], but the Master dismissed Ashad, claiming that the existing dominance of robots across the universe meant that Ashad's "ascension" of the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] wouldn't make them the true dominant species. After offering an [[alliance]], the Master and Ashad travelled to the Cybercarrier's [[Cyber-conversion|conversion]] chambers, where the Master shrank and [[Murder|killed]] Ashad with his [[Tissue Compression Eliminator]]; the Master expressed disappointment at the death particle not detonating, before absorbing the Cyberium and leaving the shrunken death particle within Ashad's miniature [[corpse]] to be found by the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]. | |||
Upon awakening from a coma in the [[Panopticon]], the Doctor was informed of the death particle by [[Ravio]], [[Hedlarni]] and [[Ethan (Ascension of the Cybermen)|Ethan]]. Finding Ashad's corpse within the Cybercarrier, the Doctor returned with it to the Panopticon, and intended to detonate one of [[Ko Sharmus' explosives]] to detonate the miniaturised death particle, thereby killing the Master, the [[CyberMaster|CyberMasters]], created by the Master and the Cyberium, and herself. However, [[Ko Sharmus]] then arrived and convinced the Doctor to allow him to detonate the death particle, allowing the Doctor to escape Gallifrey in [[TARDIS 2 (The Timeless Children)|a spare TARDIS]]. Shortly afterwards, Ko Sharmus detonated the death particle just before he died after being shot by the CyberMasters, although the Master and the CyberMasters attempted to escape.
