Biography

Building the Dalek Dome

Georgette was a member of a human military force which came to a planet where a Dalek saucer had crashed. Jumping 20,000 feet from a hovvaship in autochutes, Georgette and her group braved the planet's pressure pockets and iron forest before finding, to their surprise, a single survivor amongst the wrecked bronze Daleks, a Kaled mutant trapped in its own casing, which they designated Specimen Six Sigma. Georgette guessed that it was kept alive by static from the regular lightning storms. Six Sigma became one of twelve captured mutants whose memories were used to create the psychoscapes of the Dalek Dome. Having teleported into a Dalek-scape, Georgette was aware that her image was scanned and used as a model to create a psychoplasmic construct named Georgy Gold.

Meeting the Doctor

By 2323, Georgette had reached the rank of Lieutenant and was doing a PhD in Dalek Studies when she discovered the Doctor recorded in the histories as well as a reference to a space-time telegraph, which she recreated. Finding the time/space signature of the Doctor's TARDIS recorded in mil/ind/ent files, Georgette sent intelligent code into the ether as a distress call, hoping to lure the Doctor to help with her PhD.

To her surprise, the Fourteenth Doctor indeed arrived at the Dalek Dome within the 66-scape. Georgette arrived to greet the Doctor after he was retrieved from the 1966 Dalek invasion of Earth by Claire and Claudine. She revealed the Dalek Dome to the Doctor, who denounced it as a "tacky tasteless tourist trap" based on the suffering of countless billions. Georgette defended it, explaining the attraction's origin as an animal park which was sold to the military she represented whilst excusing the Doctor's appearance to the chief.

Alerted by Merlin to a rise in cognisance from Specimen Six Sigma, which the Doctor admitted he caused by telling the Red Supreme Dalek in the 66-scape that it was not real, to Georgette's horror as she ordered that the 66-scape be collapsed much to the Doctor's dismay as he noted that he had left the TARDIS there with Georgette's avatar inside. Soon after, the TARDIS appeared within the surveillance centre, where Georgy disembarked along with the Red Supreme Dalek and two Dalek guards, who threatened the Doctor and the oblivious visitors. As it became apparent that the Daleks were destabilising after entering the real universe, Georgy realised that, as a psychoplasmic construct, she too would destabilise as she began to remember living through and being dying in earlier simulations. Overwhelmed, Georgy ran away whilst Georgette, observing that she was experiencing cognisance shock, tried in vain to call her back.

Left with the Daleks to contend with, the Doctor claimed to have set up a pulse to electrocute the Kaled mutant to get the Daleks to back, only to reveal it to be a trick to delay the Daleks before they dissolved completely. Learning from Georgette that Georgy was gone, the Doctor mused that there may have been a way to stabilise simulacra such as her at the quantum level before Georgette confessed her motive for summoning the Doctor to the Dome, much to his bewilderment as he pleaded with her to help him shut the attraction down before being confronted by the staff, who ordered him to leave. The Doctor complied, but not before gesturing to Georgette to call him later, anticipating that she would eventually need him.

Shortly after, Georgette was at the Dalek Wedding Zone when she fell under the control of a hypno-pulse by a Dalek interrogator from the Golden City Zone where Georgy had retreated to, exploiting Georgy's parietal link to Georgette. Acquiring a gunstick from the museum, the Dalek-controlled Georgette exterminated a voice actor before using his microphone to spread the hypno-pulse to take control of all the visitors. However, Georgette and the others were released when Georgy, realising that the Emperor would permit no-one but the Daleks to live, disabled the hypno-pulse at the cost of being exterminated the Daleks.

Free from Dalek control, Georgette called Claire and Claudine to accompany her to Skaro and rescue the Doctor. Acquiring a hoverbout, the three broke into Central Control and retrieved the Doctor, rallying behind the TARDIS, contained in a Dalek force field. Taking a headscreen and a 'porting glove from Claire and Claudine, the Doctor took the group for a brief stop at the Jungles of Spiridon Zone before arriving at Eight Delta's scape where they met the Old Skaro Emperor. Explaining to this Emperor that the Golden Emperor planned to drain all other psychoscopes to fuel his own as he launched an invasion of Earth, the Doctor rallied a Dalek Alliance against him.

The Doctor leaves Georgette to decide the fate of the Dome. (COMIC: Liberation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)"])

Georgette assisted the Doctor's efforts by teleporting to the Dome to link the remaining eight Kaled mutants manually whilst Claire and Claudine distracted the informational Dalek machines at the surveillance centre. With Merlin's assistance, Georgette had channels opened amongst the mutants with the exception of Nine Lambda, the Golden Emperor, which were patched to Eight Delta through a shared wavelength. This led to a Dalek Alliance attack on the Golden City Zone, forcing the Emperor to retreat to an escape rocket where he was intercepted by the Doctor, who used his sonic screwdriver to redirect it into the Mathematicians' Moon which sustained the Daleks' reality gate, dissolving the psychoplasmic Daleks in the real universe whilst the Doctor escaped in the TARDIS.

In the aftermath of the invasion, Georgette reflected that thousands were dead across the Earth whilst Nine Lambda and the other mutants were still alive, "still dreaming of conquest", the Doctor bluntly observing that that was all a Dalek did. Georgette asked the Doctor if the mutants should be destroyed only for the Doctor to leave the decision to her, identifying Georgette as a Dalek Studies expert who had now seen what the Daleks were really like. Georgette then watched as the Doctor, ignoring her plea for him to stay, took his leave in the TARDIS. (COMIC: Liberation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)"])
