The Power of the Cybermen (comic story)

Opening Tag
Travelling alone through time and space was taking its toll on the Doctor, so it was time for a well-earned holiday …

Summary
The Doctor’s sunshine break on the earth colony holiday world of Centuria is interupted by the arrival of Cybermen rounding up the tourists for conversion. Captured and taken off in a truck the Doctor teams up with Jayne Kadett (an undercover investigator on the trail of an interplanetary info-thief). The thief stole Torchwood files and set about building his own Cyber army intending to sell the hi-tech soldiers to the highest bidder. But the Cybermen had taken control and partly converted the thief (using him as their driver). Arriving at the conversion factory the Doctor and Jayne escape using the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver to overload the Cybermen in the immediate vicinity before making their way to the main power line. The thief had also stolen the power supply by tapping into the local nuclear grid. The Doctor manages to blow the restraint circuit and the power feeds out to the Cybermen, their overload destroys them, and creates a huge explosion but before the Cybermen shut down one sends a message out to others. The Doctor is determined to track them down, stop what they’re up to and destroy them all.
