03 - Tracking Room

(A video message is coming through from International Space Command Headquarters in Geneva.)

SECRETARY:  (on monitor screen)  Geneva calling South Polar base.  Geneva to South Pole.

(The Doctor looks at Krang.)

DOCTOR:  Didn't you hear?

(The message continues to echo throughout the Tracking Room.)

SECRETARY:  Geneva calling South Polar base.  Geneva to South Pole.  Geneva to South Pole.  Geneva to South Pole.

(The two Cybermen order the Doctor to answer the call.)

DOCTOR:  Hello Geneva, Geneva...
SECRETARY:  Lieutenant Wigner to speak with General Cutler.

(The Doctor looks a bit awkward.)

DOCTOR:  I'm afraid the General isn't here at the moment... and I... I've been put in charge temporarily.
WIGNER:  Who is that speaking?
DOCTOR:  I have no time to discuss it now, sir.
WIGNER:  Tell the General Cutler there have been mass landings of Cybermen in many parts of the world.  Who are you?

(As Wigner speaks, the Geneva base is stormed by Cybermen.  After a moment's silence, a harsh, metallic Cyberman voice is heard over the monitor from Geneva.)

GERN:  (to Wigner)  I am now Controller of Earth.  Resist us and you'll die.

(Gern turns and talks into the monitor link.)

GERN:  You must proceed with your second objective.

(Krang orders the Doctor to move, and sits down in Barclay's chair.  He leans forward to speak into the microphone.)

KRANG:  We are proceeding according to plan.
GERN:  (on monitor)  Report to me as soon as you are ready.  We must have time to evacuate.

(Krang addresses the Cybermen in the South Pole base via the microphone.)

KRANG:  Unit Delta pass calling.  Unit Delta pass calling.  Unit Delta pass calling.

(The Doctor rises and approaches Krang at the controls.)

DOCTOR:  I do not understand your friend, sir.  Evacuate?  Surely you're not going to return to Mondas?
KRANG:  We will not discuss our plans with you.
DOCTOR:  (angrily)  What is your second objective?  It's quite obvious, isn't it?  The destruction of the Earth!

(He grabs the microphone and speaks into it.)

DOCTOR:  Ben!  Barclay!  Do not help them.  They're going to use the bomb to destroy the Earth!
