''to be | [[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]] accepts an invitation to the [[Earth]] [[colony]] [[Tysir IV]] from [[historian]] [[Lynton Jellis]], a fan of hers who wants her to confirm or refute that the [[planet]] was home to recent indigenous life and thus discover whether or not the colony is legal. Upon arrival, she signs Lynton's copies of ''[[Down Among the Dead Men]]'' and the rest of her works and travels with him to the site where giant [[robot]] [[miner]]s have discovered a [[metal]]lic doorway which seems familiar to her. She solves a musical puzzle and opens it. | ||
Inside, Benny realises that it is a base belonging to the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]]. They climb down a hatch to a [[control room]] where Lynton draws a [[gun]] and reveals that he has used Benny to acquire a [[plague]] for the [[United Polon Independence Party]], having learnt of it after hacking into the cyber [[computer]]. He sets [[explosive]]s and leaves her with [[Cyberman (Silver Lining)|a Cyberman]] whom she convinces to work with her to escape. They climb through the [[ventilation shaft]] and find that Lynton has been killed by the plague, which the Cyberman explains was intended to infect the planet's inhabitants and force them to be [[Cyber-conversion|converted]] to save themselves. | |||
The Cyberman pulls the door open and Benny slips through before using Lynton's gun to destroy the opening mechanism and cause them to crush the Cyberman. She is unable to get clear of the base before it explodes and is wounded, later finding herself at [[Medic Station Alpha]] where she sends a message to [[Irving Braxiatel|Braxiatel]] letting him, [[Jason Kane|Jason]] and [[Adrian Wall|Adrian]] know why she is yet to return to [[Braxiatel Collection|the Collection]]. She admits that she feels guilty about betraying the Cyberman. | |||
