In the early stages of the Dalek-Movellan War, the Daleks divested their organic nature to become robotic entities to better understand the Movellans. When this led to a logical stalemate, the Daleks returned to their organic roots and began making small gains in the war. Deducing from this that the Daleks were organic creatures, the Movellans began researching ways to target the Dalek mutant.

Its effects were immediate and devastating. Symptoms included loss of motor control and expulsion of a whitish, foamy substance from vents and seals in the Dalek's casing.

Davros was rescued by the Black Dalek Leader to develop a cure.
