Cyberman (50 ratings)
         by Briareus
Page 6 of 6

"Oh. Program is now integrated."

Reeva strode across the room to a nearby Cyberman who, in short turn, walked to another while Reeva did the same. Soon, all of the robots had left the room, leaving Neely alone.

There was a click and a whir.

"Mite, tell Professor Gestaldo I’m here and need to see him."

"Yes, Neely."

A moment later Mite sped in through the doorway, followed by an aged man in a wheelchair. The man was being pushed by a Cyberman and behind them, three others trailed dutifully.

Something strange was happening among the three others, for there was a bit of a commotion and an exchange of small parts.

"Ah, Neely. Back so soon?" a frail voice emitted from the equally frail and impaired body.

"Yes, Professor," said the youthful and mature Neely.

The Cyberman pushing Moam Gestaldo suddenly turned and left, taking the old man with him.

"Eh? Enrique- where are you-?"

"Gone, Moam. All gone. It's over."

Moam Gestaldo looked back at Neely, his aged hand clenched into a fist.

"What- do- you- MEAN?"

"I’ve put a virus into them."

The Cyberman left Moam Gestaldo, who with much effort turned himself around. He watched as the remaining Cybermen fell on the ground before him. Moam Gestaldo began to shake violently.

"You fucking bastard! All these years! Lies!"

Neely watched Moam Gestaldo work himself in a fit of rage.

"It is more worth it to me to start from scratch and know that you have been stopped. All this is nothing. You are nothing."

A Cyberman walked in and stood beside Neely.

"This is Hank. Hank, tell Professor Gestaldo your purpose."

"I am to give Professor Gestaldo immortality."

Moam Gestaldo, realizing what this meant, let out a horrific scream that echoed within for days
