The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s explanation of Mondas’ downfall and the Cybermen’s need for refrigeration (Thematic treatment of survival through technological control) parallels Flast’s later explanation of the Cybermen’s plan to alter history to save their planet—both highlight the Cybermen’s ruthless prioritization of survival over other life."
