Cyber Leader abandons assault on Voga
The Cyber Leader’s plan to destroy Voga by remote detonation collapses when the data link to the surface forces is severed. Desperate, he orders a manual override but the Vogan rebels disrupt the sequence by preventing the detonator from functioning. Realizing their entire campaign is failing, the Cyber Leader abandons his surface forces and triggers his own self-destructive directive, betraying the Cybermen’s command philosophy to preserve their mission at all costs. The failed assault leaves the Cyber Leader cornered, his ruthless pragmatism giving way to reckless desperation as his control evaporates.
