Summary
The Doctor takes Izzy to the planet Kyrol aboard a huge high-tech submarine called the Argus, so that marine biologist Alison Lavelle, an old friend of the Doctor’s, can examine Izzy and better help her understand her new form. The Argus arrives at the Asamda Ridge for a mineralogical survey, Despite the Doctor’s protestations, Alison wants to monitor Izzy in the ocean rather than a tank aboard the Argus. However, as she feels the rush of the ocean, the Argus is struck by a sonic wave and begins to sink. Oblivious, Izzy swims on, but suddenly finds herself surrounded by Daleks.
The Doctor and Alison manage to survive the Argus plunging down to the ocean bed. Whilst Captain Julius Otago and his second-in-command Theo Rankin try to send a distress call to Kyrol central, the sub is attacked by Daleks. Izzy, meanwhile, is taken prisoner. The Doctor and Alison gain entry to the Argus through a hull rupture as the Daleks seize the bridge. The Doctor and Alison make for the reactor, where they try to prevent a reactor meltdown - but it is the Daleks who prevent this happening. Identifying the Doctor, they hail him as the saviour.
While the crew are held prisoner aboard the Argus, the Daleks attach devices to the hull. Julius and Theo are suspicious of the Doctor because of the Daleks’ odd reaction to him. The Doctor needs answers and goes to the bridge to get them. There he meets a Dalek who calls himself Makkith. Makkith says the Daleks are saving the humans following the mysterious sonic wave. The devices on the hull give the sub structural integrity and allow it to be piloted - through a holographic projection and into the heart of the Asamda Ridge. Here they discover a vast Dalek city called Azhra Korr. Disembarking the Doctor is reunited with Izzy, but also meets Alpha, one of the three Daleks he conditioned with the Human Factor during his second incarnation (Evil of the Daleks). Alpha shows the Doctor the peaceful society they have built, developing their psychokinetic powers. But he cannot allow the humans to leave and expose them to danger. The Argus is destroyed. They will remain here and make a new life.
