The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story): Difference between revisions

Fortunately for the Doctor and his companions, the invisible creatures attack the Daleks, allowing them to escape. The Daleks set about exterminating the Vysians which they, eventually, do. They send message back to Kembel that they may need more reinforcements however this is denied them.

The Doctor and his companions are forming a plan to steal the Dalek's ship whilst evading the Daleks and the Vysians. Seeing that the Dalek ship is only guarded by one Dalek the Doctor decides that now is the moment. He reveals himself and says he wishes to surrender himself and the Taranium to the Daleks in exchange for safe passage home. Whilst the Doctor keeps the Dalek talking Steven sneaks up behind him and splatters mud on the Dalek's eyestalk. Using this brief period of blindness the Doctor and his companions hijack the ship; closing the door just in time before the rest of the Dalek's arrive.

By this time Chen has arrived back on Kembel. The Daleks are furious that he has not fulfilled his duty of returning the Taranium to them however he says that this whole episode reflects worse on the Daleks and their abilities than it does on him.

 

 

 

As the magnetised beam starts to effect the ship the Doctor seems relatively calm as he has finished his copy of the Taranium; the only thing left is to give it it's distinctive glow. Steven suggests using the gravity force from the ship's power centre, however is mocked by Sara again. The Doctor warns that this is an outdated practice. Whilst the Doctor and Sara are distracted Steven, refusing to believe that his science is that flawed, attaches wires from the ship's gravity force to the Taranium. This knocks him off his feet and renders him unconscious. Despite the Doctor and Sara's anger with him it has given the Taranium the effect that was required however a side effect is that Steven is in a vegative state and furthermore has a force field round him because of gravity force and reliance power. By this time the ship is about to land on Kembel, where Chen and the Daleks are waiting for it. The Doctor decides to use Stephen's force field to their advantage. He gives him the fake Taranium and says that when they emerge from the ship that Sara is to stand behind Steven and the Doctor is to do all the talking.

 

As they emerge from the ship the Doctor states that he will only give back the Taranium at the doors of his TARDIS. The Daleks are reluctant to do this however Chen persuades them that it seems the only way that the Doctor will return the mineral. The Daleks lead the traitors to the TARDIS. The Doctor says that Sara and he will go in and Steven will hand o we the mineral to them. This is carried out. As Steven tries to leave and goes back into the TARDIS the Daleks try and exterminate him however the force field renders their efforts futile. Chen is delighted that he has the main core to the weapon back again.

 

In the TARDIS Steven is being filled in on what happened as the force field has now worn off. Steven states that he may have discovered a way of making themselves invulnerable to all enemies and wants to experiment with it more but the Docotr refuses stating it is too dangerous. As they argue Sara points out the TARDIS has landed. The Doctor tries to discover where they are but the visualised is broken; however the gauges reveal that the air outside is poisonous.
