TEXT: EARTHSHOCK BY ERIC SAWARD Part Four Running time: 24:28 [SCENE_BREAK] CYBERLEADER: My army awakes, Doctor! The Doctor looks cowed. Many multiple men (Cyber) march magnificently and menacingly. Thanks to image processing. CAPT BRIGGS: This is piracy! CYBERLEADER: It is war. BERGER: The ship is in warp drive. Interfere with the navigational system and we will disintegrate!

DOCTOR: Because I think they're turning us into a flying bomb. Meanwhile, the silo tour continues. Tegan leans back out of sight a full three inches, then forward again. [SCENE_BREAK] Back on the bridge. CYBERLEADER: Your TARDIS has been found, Doctor. DOCTOR: I didn't know it was
