The Dalek Chronicles Found! (short story)
The Dalek Chronicles Found! was a short prose story original to DWMS The Dalek Chronicles. Similar to the earlier and more fleshed-out comic story The Dalek Tapes, its purpose was to present an in-universe framing for the reprinting of The Dalek Chronicles; the Dalek Chronicles in question were, this time, presented as rare story-cubes which were finally being brought to Earth in the year 2094. The story was itself framed as a news article from that year accompanying the release of the Chronicles.
Summary
It's 2094, and long-lost alien story-cubes, which had first been found on Earth in the Sixties, have been recovered in their entirety. Visualised and translated by a variety of historians, they are now, at long last, released for the public's appreciation.
