S5E2 · The Tomb of the Cybermen Part 2
Cyberman Hoax Exposes Human Deception

The wall-mounted weapon turret emerges from its slot, swivels toward the robotic Cyberman decoy, and fires a blast that cleanly decapitates the target. The Doctor kneels to examine its mechanism, tracing its rails back into the wall and deducing its role in the Testing Room’s weapon-testing system. The turret’s precise decapitation of the decoy proves the ‘Cyberman’ was a fake, exposing the hoax and redirecting suspicion toward human culprits. Its function as a testing tool is critical to the Doctor’s forensic revelation.

Before: Retracted into the wall, dormant until activated by the sequence.
After: Activated, fires a shot decapitating the decoy, then retracts, confirming its role in the hoax.
