''to be added'' | Ninety-one [[year]]s in [[Grant Markham]]'s past, the ''[[New Hope]]'' successfully launches from [[Earth]]. The [[Sixth Doctor]] and Grant observe the launch from inside [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], which is [[orbit]]ing [[Mars]]. The Doctor comments that the ''New Hope'' will travel to the [[Centraxis system]], and its [[crew]] will establish "the most remote of the [[prototype]] [[Colony|colonies]]", which Grant immediately identifies as [[Agora]], his [[planet]] of origin. The Doctor comments that with [[human]]ity now beginning to expand into [[space]], the numerous [[alien]] threats that Earth's [[government]]s have kept secret for [[Century|centuries]] will be eager to exact [[revenge]] on humanity at a [[time]] in which humans will be less equipped to fight them. However, he confirms that the ''New Hope'' will arrive safely. Meanwhile, the majority of the ''New Hope''<nowiki/>'s [[Administrative Council]] [[Voting|votes]] in favour of establishing a more primitive [[society]] on their new [[home]], and eschewing the advanced [[technology]] of Earth. | ||
In the midst of a [[rebellion]] on Agora, [[Ben Taggart]] flees from [[Population Control]], having been driven out, along with the other surviving rebels, by the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]]. Falling over in the [[mud]], he eventually gets up, believing the fighting to have passed him, only to be confronted by a Cyberman; the creature is shot [[death|dead]], however, by [[Arthur Lakesmith]], the [[leader]] of the rebellion against the Cybermen, who forces Taggart to accompany him back inside Population Control with a crude [[bomb]], with the intention of blowing up the entire complex and potentially the [[Cyber-ship (Killing Ground)|Cyber-ship]]. However, inside the complex, the duo are attacked by more Cybermen, one of whom brutally maims Lakesmith, forcing Taggart to take the bomb and detonate it himself. Taggart flees, but is trapped by two Cybermen within an [[Overseer (Killing Ground)|Overseer]]s' rest area, preventing him from reaching the control centre. [[Fear]]fully contemplating that detonating the bomb, and [[Self-sacrifice|sacrificing]] himself, here, may end up being for nothing, he places the bomb on the floor and [[surrender]]s. | |||
