'''''The Dalek Chronicles Found!''''' was a short prose story original to ''[[DWMS The Dalek Chronicles]]''. Similar to the earlier and more fleshed-out comic story ''[[The Dalek Tapes (comic story)|The Dalek Tapes]]'', its purpose was to present an in-universe framing for the reprinting of ''[[The Dalek Chronicles (comic series)|The Dalek Chronicles]]''; the [[Dalek Chronicles]] in question were, this time, presented as rare [[story-cube]]s which were finally being brought to [[Earth]] in the year [[2094]]. The story was itself framed as a news article from that year accompanying the release of the Chronicles. | |||

In [[2094]], long-lost alien [[story-cube]]s, which had first been found on [[Earth]] in the [[2060s|Sixties]], have been recovered in their entirety. Visualised and translated by a variety of historians, they are now, at long last, released for the public's appreciation. | |||

* The story is formatted as the front cover of an in-universe periodical and bears the description "No. 1 UNIVERSE EDITION", just like the original ''[[TV Century 21]]'' cover stories advertising ''The Daleks''. | |||
* The photograph used to illustrate the article was actually taken from ''[[Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (theatrical film)|Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.]]'' rather than a televised story, as evidenced by the depicted [[Silver Dalek]]s' enlarged, blue [[luminosity discharger]]s. | |||
== Continuity == | |||
* One of the story-cubes details the origin of "[[Skaro]]'s most ruthless sons" ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Genesis of Evil (comic story)|Genesis of Evil]]'') while another deals with the Daleks' introduction to the [[Mechonoid]]s ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Eve of War (comic story)|Eve of War]]'') and [[The Archives of Phryne|yet another]] with the Archives of [[Phryne]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Archives of Phryne (comic story)|The Archives of Phryne]]'') | |||
* These accounts of the Daleks were originally published in ''[[TV 21]]'' magazine in [[2060s|the Sixties]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Fireball Surrenders! (short story)|Fireball Surrenders!]]'', et al.) | |||
