[[The Doctor's TARDIS|The TARDIS]] arrives on the [[planet]] [[Telos]], where an [[Earth]] archaeological expedition led by Professor [[Parry]] is trying to uncover the lost [[tomb]]s of the [[Cyberman | [[The Doctor's TARDIS|The TARDIS]] arrives on the [[planet]] [[Telos]], where an [[Earth]] archaeological expedition led by Professor [[Parry]] is trying to uncover the lost [[tomb]]s of the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]]. With a lot of help from the [[Doctor]], the archaeologists enter the tombs. There, one of the party, [[Eric Klieg|Klieg]], reveals himself and his business partner, [[Kaftan]], to be planning to revive the Cybermen. | ||
He wants to use their strength, allied with the intelligence of his own [[Brotherhood of Logicians]], to create an invincible force for conquest. It transpires, however, that the tomb is actually a giant trap designed to lure [[human]]s suitable for conversion into Cybermen — a fate that almost befalls Kaftan's assistant [[Toberman]]. | He wants to use their strength, allied with the intelligence of his own [[Brotherhood of Logicians]], to create an invincible force for conquest.

[[Second Doctor|The Doctor]] and [[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]] show their new travelling companion [[Victoria Waterfield]] the interior of [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], though she scarcely believes it can travel through time and space. Victoria questions the Doctor on how old he is, to which he answers [[The Doctor's age|450 years]], "in Earth terms". The TARDIS takes off from [[Skaro]], heading for a new destination. | [[Second Doctor|The Doctor]] and [[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]] show their new travelling companion [[Victoria Waterfield]] the interior of [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], though she scarcely believes it can travel through time and space.

On the planet [[Telos]], an archaeological expedition uses explosives to uncover the entrance to a city hidden in the side of a mountain. When a member of the expedition touches the huge metal doors, he is electrocuted. Immediately afterwards, the TARDIS lands nearby. The Doctor, Jamie and Victoria arrive on the scene. [[Captain]] [[Hopper (The Tomb of the Cybermen)|Hopper]], the expedition's pilot, holds them at gunpoint until the Doctor convinces them, through his ability to take control of the situation, that they had nothing to do with the death. [[John Viner]], the assistant to expedition leader [[Parry]], accuses the Doctor of being part of a rival expedition.

[[John Viner]], the assistant to expedition leader [[Parry]], accuses the Doctor of being part of a rival expedition. Parry explains that they are here to find the remains of the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]], who apparently died out centuries before. The expedition is funded by Miss [[Kaftan]], who is accompanied by her giant manservant, [[Toberman]], and her colleague, [[Eric Klieg]]. Now that he knows the Cybermen are involved, the Doctor decides to accompany the group. He uses a small device to unelectrify the doors and employs Toberman's great strength to haul them open. The Doctor warns the expedition to be careful but they march in, paying no heed to his warning. | ||
Entering the darkened inner chamber, they find a control panel with a series of levers and switches, large, hidden doors and a sealed hatch. Klieg and Kaftan conspire with each other, more concerned with their new friends than anything else. It is decided that Kaftan shall stay with Victoria, Klieg with the Doctor, and Toberman with Jamie. The Doctor opens the doors using the levers, which operate on [[symbolic logic]]. Klieg is resentful that the Doctor is able to [[deduce]] this instead of him. The hatch, however, remains sealed, so the members of the expedition split up and explore. | Entering the darkened inner chamber, they find a control panel with a series of levers and switches, large, hidden doors and a sealed hatch.
