+Lesterson reacts by turning down the generator, and uses it to try to keep control of the Daleks. He turns it back up when the Daleks assure him of their obedience. He asks to see the blueprints of the meteor prediction machine. He is very pleased with their plans.

+Bragen is settling in with his new power, with Hensell out on the perimeter of the colony for a day or two. He is dismissive and hostile to Valmar whilst he fixes the communication system. The Doctor and Ben push their way in, and show him the note telling of Polly's kidnapping. The Doctor is unnerved as a Dalek brings drinks on a tray. Bragen is unhelpful. When they leave Bragen contacts Hensell, to whom he assures that the colony is running smoothly. Hensell explains he'll be gone for a few more days.
-The Doctor sees that more Daleks have been reactivated. In the lab, Lesterson is disturbed by the large quantities of supplies the Daleks are requesting, and wants to ask the Examiner's advice. Janley blackmails Lesterson by revealing Resno's death to him, to prevent his acting against the Daleks, and the rebels. The Doctor and Ben arrive, inquiring about Polly, and tell Lesterson about the new Daleks. The Doctor disabuses him of the idea that the Daleks are just machines; they are brilliant engineers. Lesterson is very shaken by this and collapses; Janley forces them out. Janley informs the Daleks that they will be installing the new cables, as requested.
+When they leave the Doctor speculates how long the Daleks will be able to move without static electricity. The Doctor sees a Dalek go into Bragen's office but then sees a further three more further down the corridor. This concerns him as there was originally only three. The Doctor and Ben decide to go and see Lesterson. On the way they walk past a seemingly innocent notice board which he is noticed a number of people have gathered round.
-The Doctor discovers that a notice board is being used in secret to announce rebel meetings. He and Ben conceal themselves in the meeting room. Janley and Valmar display the Dalek to the meeting; Valmar has connected a controlling device to the Dalek's gun. When they mention they are holding Polly, Ben accidentally reveals their presence and is knocked out. The Doctor is brought before Bragen — the leader of the rebels — who has him imprisoned with Quinn. He tells Quinn of Bragen's crimes, and that he is not the real Examiner. He sets about trying to imitate the sonic key used to lock their cell.
