Doctor forges uneasy Cryon alliance
Varne and her Cryon allies intercept the Doctor at the TARDIS entrance, now guarded by Cyber forces. Peri rushes to him, revealing the Cybermen's plan to destroy the TARDIS to prevent time interference. The Doctor and Cryons find common cause—stopping Cyber control of the ship—despite their mutual distrust. When physical force fails to open a tomb entrance, Varne uses her weapon to blast through, enabling them to proceed deeper into the tunnels and confront the Cybermen. The moment underscores the fragile cooperation born of shared desperation.
