The being answered Migeul's taunt with a roar as it emerged from the crack. A massive serpent like creature of metal and flesh pulled itself into view. It roared with a raspy mechanical tinge.
"KIIIIIIIIIRK!"
The time gate suddenly came to life and on the other end was something the Doctor didn't expect. Staring back at her was the face she hadn't seen in give or take a thousand years.
"Wait...that's me!"
Meanwhile...a hundred years ago
While the group of the present had decided to go in the backdoor, the group of the past had had no choice but to go through the main door into the facility. They had chased Lenore and the Cyberman across space and a massive battle awaited the Enterprise when they arrived. Fighting their way through the hellish landscape the main group had found their way through the facility and into the room with the time gate, Meeting them was Lenore and even more Cybermen.
If Lenore was concerned with the group being there she didn't show it. "Amazing! You managed to get this far Kirk...and the rest of your lost children."
Kirk armed with his phaser glared at Lenore.
"Stop this Lenore. We can still salvage this. Tell the Cybermen to lower their weapons and we'll take them and you into custody."
Lenore laughed in his face. "We're far beyond that!" Pressing a button the massive machine in the room came to life, which caused the Doctor's eyes to go wide.
"A time gate? Do you know what this is?" He said as he ran up to it.
"It's too late! Now that it's activated the present and the future will meet ending them both!"
"What do you mean?"
"She means," The Doctor replied fiddling with the controls. "
That she's turned this thing into a weapon. If I can't get this to shut down then it will figuratively and literally fracture time and space." He looked into the gate.
"Did you get all that, woman in weird clothes on the other side?"
The Present
The Doctor nodded to her past counterpart.
"Loud and clear! Also I'm actually future you but we don't have time to go over that. You lot!" She shouted to Picard and the rest of the group.
"We're going to try and get this gate shutdown! Now I'm going to need your help to keep that...thing! Occupied when I do it. You think you can do that?"
The monster roared again and fired off a blast of energy from its mouth towards the group.
