As the Doctor's friends set up their tech, Graham creates a neural inhibitor system to return emotion and pain to the Cybermen, Yaz makes a particle projector that will attack them with gold, and Ryan is met by a man called [[Yedlarmi]] and his mute younger brother [[Fuskle]] to set up a forcefield. With the other humans (including a young woman called [[Bescot]] and another older woman) never having been fighters, the gizmos are powered up. However, a swarm of flying [[Cyberdrone]] heads appears, destroys the equipment with precision, and kills Fuskle and the older woman as they try to run. | As the Doctor's friends set up their tech, Graham creates a neural inhibitor system to return emotion and pain to the Cybermen, Yaz makes a particle projector that will attack them with gold, and Ryan is met by a man called [[Yedlarmi]] and his mute younger brother [[Fuskle]] to set up a forcefield.

Suddenly, Ashad appears to the Doctor. Although shocked by her, he has backup from two [[Cyberguard]]s. The Doctor decides to act as bait to help the others escape. As her friends run, Ryan is cut off from them, but Graham and Yaz run to Ravio, Bescot, and Yedlarmi's Gravraft. They are forced inside for takeoff, even though they are missing the Doctor, Ryan, Feekat, and Ethan. Yedlarmi assumes they are all dead and they take off. | ||

Ethan is confronted by Ashad and tells him that he is the only remaining human, but Ashad knows he is lying and kills Feekat. Ashad wonders whether to let Ethan live so he can warn any others of the Cybermen's power, but the Doctor creates a diversion and they run. Without the TARDIS or the Gravraft, they go to steal Ashad's [[Cyberfighter]] instead. Inside the ship, the Doctor works on hot-wiring it, already being a pro. However, Ethan identifies a faster way and the ship starts up. Taking off, Ashad looks up, furious. | ||

Although Ravio and Yedlarmi argue about how to run the ship, Bescot explains they are heading toward the [[Planet of the Boundary|planet]] Ko Sharmus and a phenomenon called "[[the Boundary]]" which teleports anyone who finds it to random locations in the universe. However, by pushing the ship too hard, its ailing engine explodes. | ||

Ethan explains one of the first things he was ever taught in life was how to hijack and destroy cyber-ships. As they talk, a hologram of Ashad appears and he and the Doctor talk. Ashad explains that the [[Cyberium]] knows of her, but he will stop her and destroy humanity. She points out his internal conflict of hating who he used to be and not being a perfect Cyberman, but he agrees and points out he is ready to carry the death of everything inside him. As he leaves, the Doctor is left shaken. | ||

Despite urging him not to, Michael shoots him in the chest and Brendan falls off the cliff. As his sergeant runs along the beach, however, Brendan wakes up and is somehow unharmed. Later, he simply explains he was lucky, with his injuries mysteriously missing, and he receives a commendation for his great work. | ||
Inside the Gravraft, everyone survives, but they are still floating in space and running on emergency power. Looking out of a viewpoint, Yaz realises they are floating aimlessly through a battle site, complete with dormant ships. Graham notices a docking bay on one of them, and the two give the refugees a plan to channel their remaining life support energy to accelerate onto the ship. With nothing to lose, they try it and barely make it onto the ship alive | Inside the Gravraft, everyone survives, but they are still floating in space and running on emergency power.

With nothing to lose, they try it and barely make it onto the ship alive, with their arrival making its systems start working again. However, as they look around the enormous interior, another Cyberfighter arrives nearby, carrying Ashad and his guards, ready to hunt the humans down. | ||

However, [[Ko Sharmus]] turns out to be one lone elderly man, who does not believe any more humans exist. The Doctor parks up, happy to see a friendly face. | ||
Meanwhile, Graham, Yaz, Ravio, Yedlarmi, and Bescot explore the ship, and Yaz makes it clear how proud she is of Graham's work. Yedlarmi explains they must be nearing CyberControl, making the others realise they have landed on a Cyberman war carrier. Finding the control deck, the refugees plan to reach Ko Sharmus with it, cross the Boundary, and settle in the carrier until they find a habitable planet. Graham and Ravio decide to explore the ship. | Meanwhile, Graham, Yaz, Ravio, Yedlarmi, and Bescot explore the ship, and Yaz makes it clear how proud she is of Graham's work.
