Revenge of the Cybermen - Part Four

Lester gets to Harry before he can make any progress with the harness and explains to him what will happen if he unlocks it. The Doctor wakes up and agrees with Lester's assessment of the situation.

The Doctor, Lester, and Harry go after the two Cybermen on Voga. The Doctor and Harry try to use gold dust on them but the Cybermen overpower them before they can hit them with the gold dust. Lester attacks the cybermen and blows himself by up unlocking his harness. Both Cybermen and Lester are killed in the blast.

Revenge of the Cybermen - Part Three

The Cybermen didn't kill the Doctor, Stevenson, and Lester. They only stunned them. The Cybermen attach bombs to the three prisoners and then transport them down to Voga, via transmat beam. They are ordered to make their way to the center of Voga. Two Cybermen are sent with them.

Sarah and Harry remain caught in the midst of the power struggle on Voga. Kellman beams down to Voga to check on something, with the permission of the Cyberleader, and similarly gets caught in the midst of the battles between the two factions.

The Doctor, Stevenson, and Lester follow the instructions they've been given and head for the center of Voga. They cannot remove the harnesses because the bombs will explode if they attempt to do so.

Revenge of the Cybermen - Part Two

The Doctor escapes from Kellman's quarters. He rushes to save Sarah who was just bitten by a Cybermat. The Doctor kills the Cybermat but is too late to prevent Sarah from getting infected. He sends Harry with Sarah, who is unconscious, by tranmat beam to Voga. There is a piece missing from the tranmat device but the Doctor rigs it together good enough to get it to work once.

Stevenson and Lester hunt and capture Kellman. The Doctor asks him for the missing piece to the transmat beam. Kellman refuses to talk until the Doctor threatens to sick a Cybermat on him. The Doctor puts the transmat beam back together but when he activates it no one materializes.

Sarah recovers as soon as she and Harry materialize on Voga. Something about the act of tranmitting her from Nerva to Voga cured her. Sarah and Harry quickly get caught up in an internal squabble between warring factions on Voga.

The Cybermen dock with Nerva. They kill the Doctor, Stevenson, and Lester when they try to fight back against the alien invaders.

Revenge of the Cybermen - Part One

The Doctor, Sarah, and Harry arrive in the aft control room on Space Station Nerva. It is much earlier in time than when they left. The TARDIS isn't there. The Doctor decides that they should have a look around while they wait for the TARDIS to catch up to them. 

They head for the forward control room. Walking through the hallways they discover dead bodies everywhere. They encounter a locked door. The Doctor unlocks it which trips a silent alarm.

The only other humans aboard Nerva are talking things over when the alarm goes off. Three of them are crew and the other is a civilian. Commander Stevenson and Lester take weapons and head for the forward control room.
