"'''[[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.  


==History==
== History ==
The original Scientist, along with the other original four, the [[Supreme Dalek (Progenitor)|Supreme]], [[Eternal Dalek|Eternal]], [[Standard Dalek|Drone]] and [[Strategist Dalek|Strategist]], was created by the [[Progenitor]] when the [[Ironside Project|old Daleks]] tricked the [[Eleventh Doctor]]. It escaped through the [[Time corridor]] with the others when their plans to destroy Earth failed. ([[DW]]: ''[[Victory of the Daleks]]'')


Several Scientist Daleks patrolled [[Kaalann]] and studied the [[Varga plant]]s which infested the capital. ([[VG]]: ''[[City of the Daleks]]'')
=== 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. ([[COMIC]]: [[Duel of the Daleks (comic story)|''Duel of the Daleks'']] [+])


Several Scientist Daleks were part of the platoon led by a Strategist that attacked [[Station 7]], with several other Strategists and Drones under its leadership. ([[GN]]: ''[[The Only Good Dalek]]'')
=== 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. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Secret of the Emperor (comic story)|The Secret of the Emperor]]'')


A Scientist Dalek sent an alien family plummeting through time and space while attempting to collect all the [[Time Orb]]s. The Scientist recruited many [[Strategist Dalek|Strategist]] Daleks and [[Drone Dalek|Drones]]. It also recruited big armies of [[Cybermen]] and [[Silurian]]s as a distraction for the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Amy Pond|Amy]]. ([[VG]]: ''[[The Mazes of Time]]'')
=== Earlier Encounters ===
Dalek Scientists were among the [[Skaro City Dalek|Skaro City Daleks]] which met the [[First Doctor]], [[Susan Foreman]], [[Ian Chesterton]], and [[Barbara Wright]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]''; [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Return to Skaro (audio story)|Return to Skaro]]'')

One Scientist Dalek, designated Unit Three, was captured and taken aboard Station 7. Several Scientist Daleks were part of the platoon led by Chief Strategist that attacked Station 7, with several other Strategists and Drones under its leadership.
