Hand of Omega Incident[[edit] | [edit source]]
During the Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War, long following the model of the Duplicate Incident, (PROSE: Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe) The Black Dalek personally led the Renegade Daleks during the Hand of Omega Incident November 1963. There, it created a mind-link between itself and the human child Judith Winters to remedy its rigid Dalek mind's lack of imagination. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks) Its connection with Judith Winters caused the Supreme Dalek problems; the girl's human emotions would filter into the Daleks' mind when she was accessing the battle computer, treating each problem as nothing more than a game, and causing strange thoughts for the Dalek. Physically, the connection also made the Daleks' sluggish heartbeat race beyond the safety parameters, forcing the life-support computer in its casing to increase the amount of tranquillisers pumped into its body, making it difficult for the Dalek to concentrate properly. (PROSE: Remembrance of the Daleks) The Dalek Supreme ended up as the last surviving member of the Renegade Daleks present after a skirmish with the Imperial Daleks, where the Hand of Omega was taken by the triumphant Imperials.
