(AUDIO: Restoration of the Daleks) Davros was kept in a recreation of the Thousand Year War with Kaled clones, however he managed to gain control of the prison's computer which enabled him to send a message to Gallifrey, offering to aid the Time Lords in return for rescue. The Doctor, in the midst of a degeneration causing him to appear as the Seventh Doctor, and Commander Veklin travelled to Falkus and retrieved Davros, however they were pursued by Daleks who recaptured them, along with the General, and brought them back to Falkus. On his return, Davros used his control of the facility to turn the clones on the Daleks, trapping them all on the moon until the Doctor exposed the giant Dalek mutant at the heart of the facility to his unstable genetics.
