History


The Doctor's TARDIS was catapulted into Pete's World after falling through a crack in reality while travelling through the Time Vortex. It landed in London, critically drained of energy. At this time, the first Cybermen were being created by Cybus Industries, with full-scale manufacturing taking place at Battersea Cyber-factory. (TV: )

John Lumic activated the EarPod primary sequence across London. The city was sealed off and placed under martial law. The entire population, bar a few rebels, were taken to Battersea Cyber-factory to be converted. The Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler and Mickey Smith, with the help of Pete Tyler and the Preachers, transmitted a code which cancelled out the emotional inhibitors of all Cybermen in London and blew up the factory in the process. (TV: )

Three years later, the Cybermen infiltrated Torchwood and travelled to the Doctor's universe. By that time, the breach between the universes had caused temperatures to rise and ice caps to melt, leading people to expect London to soon be flooded. The Tenth Doctor closed the breach, but at the cost of trapping Rose in Pete's World. (TV: )
