Cybermen's Probe Field
Cybermen deploy the probe field as a weapon linked to the Gravitron's destructive energy, which they aim to activate from the Moonbase control room to ravage Earth. Hazards like intense gravity prevent Cybermen from operating it directly, forcing reliance on human puppets such as Hobson. The Doctor counters by disrupting sonic controls via the R/T unit, exposing the field's vulnerability and shifting the balance toward resistance.
