The Great Cyber-War (audio story)

 was the second and final story in the audio anthology Audacity, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Tim Foley and featured Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor and Jaye Griffiths as Lady Audacity Montague.

Part one
The Great Cyber-War. Humanity and her allies versus the horror of the Cybermen. This is no place for the Doctor to take his new best friend. But on the Aurum, the war seems far away. There are parties and cupcakes and all the gold of Voga - and not a Cyberman to be seen...

Part two
The Cyber-War has come to the Aurum. The best hope of survival lies with the great Oberon Fix - the finest scientific mind of his generation, working to protect humanity. But the Doctor is worried that his own presence will affect history's outcome. And for Audacity, life with the Doctor will never be the same again...

Part one
The Doctor sets the TARDIS's controls at random for Audacity's first adventure and they land on the Aurum, a space station seemingly made of gold and which is orbiting a planet the Doctor recognises. They find that they have arrived during a party in honour of Oberon Fix, a scientist working to end a war, and go to leave when the Doctor realises that they have arrived above Voga during the Great Cyber-War, inadvertently sabotaging Dellatine's attempt to assassinate Fix during his speech. Audacity chases Dellatine and is separated from the Doctor when a lockdown is initiated and he is arrested whilst Audacity, aware that she is already believed to be an accomplice, leaves in a shuttle with the would-be assassin.
