Metallic footsteps were heard in the dark night. The Cyberman steps into view, its cold, silver face impassive. A blue light blinks rhythmically on its chest unit. It tilts its head slightly, scanning the vicinity.

“Alert. Human presence detected,”

its synthesized voice intones.

“You will be upgraded. Resistance is illogical.”

Its arm raises, pointing directly at the human target.

“Submit and become like us. Emotion is weakness; we are the next step in evolution.”
