"'''[[Scientist]] Dalek'''", or "'''Dalek Scientist'''", was a specialised caste in the hierarchy of the [[Dalek Empire]]. Its role was to examine and formulate new weapons as well as to analyse the genetic and physiological make-up of the [[Dalek|Daleks]]' enemies so that their weaknesses could be isolated. | |||

=== Duel of the Daleks === | |||
[[Zeg]] was a Dalek Scientist who conducted experiments to strengthen [[dalekanium]], the alloy which composed the [[Casing|Dalek casings]]. When his [[laboratory]] was struck by an [[Oquolloquox]], the experiment he was conducting with [[artificial sunlight]] exploded and exposed him to [[radiation]] that bonded with his casing; creating a much stronger metal he called [[Metalert]], but also drove him insane. Dalek Scientists were among many who tried and failed to destroy him with their [[Gunstick|gunsticks]]. He challenged the [[Dalek Prime|Dalek Emperor]] for supremacy. Although Zeg survived [[acid]] and [[Mercury (element)|mercury]], the Emperor destroyed him with liquid [[oxygen]]. Since he was resistant to [[heat]], the extreme [[cold]] of the oxygen crushed him.

=== Emperor's Secret === | |||
After his "perfection" was called into question, a group of Dalek Scientists, headed by the Chief Scientist, were tasked by the Dalek Emperor with taking him apart and rebuilding him with an increased brain capacity. After identifying the minor flaws in the Emperor's casing, the Scientists decided to rebuilt it completely, creating a much larger casing in Skaro's [[Great Hall]] with an enlarged, artificial organic brain to supplement the mutant, rather than a mere computer brain. The Chief Scientist, wearing a "special protective [[Dalekoat]]", was the one to finish plugging some cables connecting the casing to the wall.
