The Recon Scout Incident was the Time Lord designation for the event in which the Thirteenth Doctor confronted the reconstructed Reconnaissance Dalek. (TV: Resolution, PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual)

History

A day to come

Through the extrapolations of the Matrix, the Time War-era Time Lords foresaw the encounter with the Reconnaissance Dalek in the Doctor's personal future, which was recorded in the Dalek Combat Training Manual. They attributed the "remarkable" feat of the Dalek having initially been defeated by primitive humans to it being unprepared for the overwhelming opposition that it faced, anticipating that they would not be so lucky were they to encounter one. (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual)

Aftermath

Main article: Security Drone Incident

While one account held that Giles of the Preternatural Research Bureau was dispatched to pick up a broken microwave and a battered alien casing in Sheffield on New Year's Day, (PROSE: Preternatural Days) matching the story of how the Recon Dalek's casing was destroyed, (TV: Resolution) the casing actually ended up in the hands of agents of Jack Robertson. Remnants of the Dalek, stuck in the broken and battered casing, were later collected by scientist Leo Rugazzi to create a new lifeform, unknowingly allowing a new race of Daleks to be born. Rugazzi's original new Dalek mutant was the very same Recon Scout, in mind as well as in body; the Doctor observed that "Dalek consciousness can live within the tiniest fragment of their DNA." The Dalek took control of Rugazzi's infrastructure, and made all the necessary orders and purchases to manufacture a vertical farm in Osaka, where it began cloning new Daleks. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks)

During the Kasaavin invasion of early 2020, C maintained MI6's stance not to countenance the possibility of extraterrestrial life, to which the Doctor suggested that he talk to his "mates at GCHQ". (TV: Spyfall)

Using its new army of Defence Drones, the Dalek started an invasion early in 2021, with intent to use Earth as a base to take over the universe. In order to stop it, the Doctor sent the Dalek's original reconnaissance signal into the Time Vortex and summoned Death Squad Daleks, who exterminated the new Daleks for being impure. Teleporting aboard the Dalek saucer via spatial shift, the first clone insisted that it was the last remains of the Recon Scout and that it had completed the original's mission and given its life for the Dalek cause. Although the clone insisted that it could be purified, the Death Squad Daleks exterminated it with their blasters, destroying the Recon Scout once and for all. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks)
