== Summary == | |||
Two archaeologists, [[Korving]] and [[Joy (The Ugly Underneath)|Joy]], study glyphs which reveal that the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] and [[Golgoth]] destroyed each other two thousand years earlier. [[Mondas]]' orbit is decaying once again, and Korving believes that [[Golgoth's son]] is their last hope for survival. He threatens the [[Lord High Priest of C'iva]], the leader of the [[Cult of C'iva]], whom he believes has the answers he seeks. However, just then, Mondas breaks free of its orbit, and in the cataclysm Joy and the priest are killed. Dying, Korving unknowingly crawls into an old conversion unit, becoming the first of the new Cybermen. | |||
