After winning a victory over the Androids in Orion after years of defeats, Admiral [[Karen Brett]] is recalled to Earth to be promoted to Earth’s Commander-in-Chief. President [[Duncan Levinson]] is unhappy with the decision (she tortured [[Helliton|an android sympathiser]] to obtain the information), but she is popular and the promotion will boost morale.

President [[Duncan Levinson]] is unhappy with the decision (she tortured [[Helliton|an android sympathiser]] to obtain the information), but she is popular and the promotion will boost morale. On route back to Earth, Brett receives a private message diverting them to an uninhabited planet, with her friend Captain [[Liam Barnaby]] providing discreet security. She is met by a holographic projection of Hunt, who strongly implies that President Levinson is unable or unwilling to do what is necessary to achieve victory, but perhaps she does and should Project Scorpius become more favourably viewed by a new administration, the war might be over much quicker. He disappears, leaving schematics of what appears to be a man in [[Cyberman|cybernetic battle armour]]. | ||
Upon returning to Earth, Brett is given a victory parade to the White House. Moments after Levinson informs her of his decision to appoint her Commander-in-Chief, a shuttle crashes into the grounds of the White House and armed figures in spacesuits storm the building. Overwhelming security, they break into the Oval Office and kill Levinson before informing Brett that she will now become the President of Earth. It then escapes by transmat. Following the assassination, the Senate invokes emergency powers and appoints Brett as Levinson’s replacement. She promotes Barnaby as her new Commander-in-Chief. However, the war is not going well, and Bretts Presidential popularity is also failing was the war worsens. Brett begins to consider what the mysterious Project Scorpius could offer, especially since the Androids are now targeting human civilians as well as soldiers. As they consider Scorpius, one of Levinson’s assassins transmats into the White House and heads for Brett’s living quarters. It reveals itself to Brett as one of the cybernetic warriors she saw in Hunts schematics. It gives Brett a holographic projector then transmits away. | Upon returning to Earth, Brett is given a victory parade to the White House.
