The Guardian at the Event Horizon

by Papapaldi

It has been five years since Nardole escorted the residents of floor 507 to relative safety, while the Doctor and what was left of Bill Potts destroyed an army of Cybermen bent on converting the human survivors on the colony ship. Even as the ship reverses out of the time-distorting gravitational pull of a black hole, the floors above have had many thousands of years to evolve their forces, and extend their control over the ship’s vital systems.

For Nardole, all hope is lost. Until, impossibly, Bill comes back.
