CyberKing: Difference between revisions

[[Mickey Smith]] once speculated that a CyberKing could be inside the [[Void Ship]]; only to be proved wrong when the [[Cult of Skaro|Dalek Cult of Skaro]] emerged ([[TV]]: ''[[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|Army of Ghosts]]'')

One CyberKing was created by [[Cybusman|Cybus Cybermen]] in [[London]] during [[1851]]. The [[Tenth Doctor]] theorised that the end of the [[21st century Dalek invasion|2009 Dalek invasion of Earth]] collapsed the walls of [[the Void]], allowing the Cybermen to escape and travel back in time using a stolen [[Dalek]] [[Dimension Vault]]. Using child labour to generate electricity and produce the ship underneath the [[River Thames]], [[Mercy Hartigan]] was made into the CyberKing. She refused to be cyber-converted, and instead used her mental powers to command the entire Cyberman army. The ship rose out of the Thames, with Miss Hartigan and several Cybermen controlling the machine inside the part of the vehicle shaped as a Cyberman mouthpiece, and rampaged across London. Using [[Jackson Lake]]'s "[[Tethered Aerial Release Developed In Style|TARDIS]]" and an improvised device made from Cyberman [[infostamp]]s, the Doctor severed the link between Hartigan and the Cybermen. The Cybermen and Miss Hartigan were killed in the process, and the CyberKing was transported into the Time Vortex to harmlessly disintegrate.

It was later revealed{{to whom}} that this event was not remembered by the people that witnessed it due to [[Time Field|the cracks in time]], which had erased events such as this from history.
