Guilt (audio story)

Publisher's Summary

"That is our world out there. A chemical soup for a sky above and a scarred, radioactive wasteland below. It is purgatory. But we must make it paradise!"

The Kaled city is now ravaged, and life has become one of fear, protected by a vast transparent dome that covers the city ruins. The Thals undertake a desperate mission to take Davros away from his laboratories, and the Supremo must send a crack squad over enemy lines to retrieve his chief scientist. Led by the morally bankrupt Lieutenant Nyder, Davros is rescued. But he has been changed by the experience, and where once he stood for knowledge, he now espouses the utter extermination of the Thal people. To this end, Davros will stop at nothing to make sure his legacy lives on...

Notes

This release included a second CD with a behind the scenes documentary and interviews behind all four audio dramas.
Peter Miles (Nyder) and Lisa Bowerman (Colonel Murash) previously appeared in the Sixth Doctor audio drama BFA: Whispers of Terror together. They played Curator Gantman and Beth Pernell respectively.

Continuity

This story occurs a short (relative) time before DW: Genesis of the Daleks.
From the description and implication the Mark One Davros creates would be of the same design seen in DW: The Daleks.
