Cybermen confirm sabotage completion

The Cybermen Incubation Spheres are referenced indirectly as the means by which the two fully 'grown' Cybermen hatched in Phase One. While not physically present in this scene, their successful deployment is confirmed by Cyberman 1’s report—'Phase one complete.'—indicating the Cybermen’s emergence and readiness for the next phases. The spheres’ role in the invasion is foundational, enabling the Cybermen’s undetected infiltration and sabotage of the Space Wheel.

Before: Successfully deployed and hatched, having released the Cybermen for Phase One.
After: No longer relevant to the immediate action, as the Cybermen have fully emerged and are now active participants in the invasion.
