Dalek Scientific Division
The Dalek Scientific Division or Dalek Science Division was a high-ranking group of Dalek Scientists in the Dalek hierarchy.
Their needs overrode all other orders and concerns in two missions. (AUDIO: The Genocide Machine, Return of the Daleks) They were headed by the Chief Scientist. (AUDIO: The Genocide Machine)
During the Last Great Time War, a Dalek assault squad recieved guidance from the "science corps". (AUDIO: The Wrath of Medusa)
History
During the Second Great Dalek Occupation, the Scientific Division oversaw the reoccupation of Spiridon, now known as Zaleria. They intended to finish the invisibility experiments and recover the buried army. Susan Mendes and Kalendorf, on a visit to inspire the slaves as part of Susan’s work as “the Angel of Mercy”, noticed the Division’s occupation was more brutal than the norm, including the deployment of Ogrons to brutally police the population. Kalendorf began working with local rebels and the Seventh Doctor to destroy the frozen army, however the scientists realised his absence and tortured the truth from Suz, despite standing orders from the Supreme for her protection. The Daleks surrounded Kalendorf and threatened to kill him unless the Doctor backed down from destroying the army with heat rays. The Doctor complied, knowing Kalendorf‘s importance to history, and agreed to work with the Daleks on invisibility. After years of servitude to the Scientific Division, the Doctor overheard reports of a rebellion on Yaldos and, realising history was playing out correctly, released a virus that infected all the Daleks on Spiridon with fatal light wave sickness. (AUDIO: Return of the Daleks)
During the Time War, the Science Division tested a Berserker Dalek by releasing it on a Time Lord space station used for research, whilst they observed from a nearby spaceship. They monitored the arrival of three more Time Lords and realised a weakness in the Berserker had been exploited, so boarded the station themselves. The Berserker killed then when they attempted to restrain it. (AUDIO: Remnants)
