We are the Daleks! (short story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Summary
The story opens with a prologue relating how the Doctor discovers on the inhospitable and hostile terrain of Ollendorf 2 the remains of a [Dalek]] and, in a cave, two human skeletons which have lain there for centuries; he wonders what brought the two men to this world. There then follows an account, told by space geologist Joel Kendon, relating the story of how Halldon scientists transplanted primitive humans to the planet Ameron and artificially accelerated their evolution, resulting in the creation of the Daleks.

Continuity
- Neither the Doctor nor his companions (who remain in the TARDIS) are identified in this story. However, since it was published at around the time that The Three Doctors was broadcast, it is probably the Third Doctor. The only times that he had more than one companion was when he travelled with Jo Grant and Liz Shaw (PDA: The Wages of Sin) and with Jo and Mike Yates (MA: Speed of Flight). Since it is implied that Jo and Mike have a series of adventures with the Doctor, it is more likely the latter pairing.
Timeline
- This story occurs after MA: Speed of Flight
- This story occurs before ST: The Bad Guy
