ORIGINAL NOTE FROM JAMES LEEPER
First off, please accept my sincerest apologies for taking so long to get this out! I've been wanting to get this done in a long time.
This story was written originally in 2013, since that time it has gone through quite a number of changes to get to where it is now. This has taken many, many months post-production side to complete and a lot has happened since I started this, personal trials and challenges but it is now finished. I hope you enjoy it please leave a comment, a like/love, download, share it with your friends! Please do not upload this anywhere else without my permission.
Thank you for taking the time to come and listen.
This is dedicated to my friend Bill Hollweg who is this drama who sadly passed away. A good friend, beloved by many and loved the world of fiction, writing, mixing and art!

I can definitely hear the inspiration of Big Finish Cyberman series, especially with the internal monologues. Nice touch 👍 Brilliant work from Matthew Toffolo as always

@@JamesLeeperLoneWolfAudioWorks I’ve listen to the whole audio drama, I love fan projects. They have so much passion and enjoyment behind them, you can hear the enjoyment from the cast and they did a fantastic job. Such a great community and happy to hear the Cybermen being the main antagonist in the story as the last 3 stories on the main show had then as grunts or side villains to the Master. The Cybermen don’t need the support from other villains as all it takes is a writer who knows and understands how to write for the Cybermen. They have enough history, lore and depth to write compelling stories, I wished more fan projects got more attention as they deserve it. Great job James 👍 hope to hear more in the future but no pressure, best to take time and prefect these projects rather than to rush them 🙂 👌

@@michaelhalford2640 I totally agree, sometimes alot of the fan productions are really good. I love the Cybermen, their history and just how terrifying they can actually be. I find them far scarier than the Daleks, hands down. Really glad you enjoyed :) Be sure share ;) I will do my best to get another story done. Amen, my friend.

Hi Aaron, Thank you for taking the time to listen and commenting. I really appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it. I really wanted to focus on the horror of encountering the Cybermen. The cast and composer did brilliantly too. Thanks for the ten out of ten 😉. What was your favourite part/s?

@aaronhall9077 2 ай бұрын

Hi @JamesLeeperLoneWolfAudioWorks I think my favourite part was the ending. Despite sending a warning to humanity after sacrificing it all, it was all for nothing. It really showed the existential threat and dystopian inevitability of the Cybermen. They are a proper black mirror concept that you nailed perfectly.

@@JamesLeeperLoneWolfAudioWorks In many ways I find the Cybermen more disturbing than the Daleks because at least a Kaled mutant is still flesh and can open its travel machine occasionally - a Cyberman is just a brain and a central nervous system. Mind you, that's not to say I'd be happy being a 'squid in a tank'!
