Cybermen Landing Site

The landing site is a jagged depression in the rocky plain, its fractured surface still smoking from the Cybermen’s descent. Emergency lighting from their ships casts long, stark shadows that stretch like claws across the mineral-streaked rock. The air hums with the low-frequency whine of Cyber-selection protocols, cutting through the thin Vogan atmosphere like a blade. Fragments of shattered equipment smolder in clusters, their edges still too hot to touch, while the Cybermen move in precise, synchronous ranks, their silver forms reflecting the dim illumination with a predatory sheen. No organic life remains visible—only the focused efficiency of mechanized advance, the air thick with the ozone tang of overloaded circuitry and the faintest metallic scrape of servos adjusting to the gravity. This is the first breach, the moment before the extermination begins.
