31 January

On 31 January 2007, the SS Elysium arrived safely in Panama, its passengers and crew having endured an attack by Cybermen just weeks earlier. One passenger, artist Michael Brack, was airlifted to hospital for treatment for hypothermia suffered during the attack. He missed his chance to tell Ruby Duvall that he was the man responsible for her father's paralysis. (PROSE: Iceberg)
