They attach a power cable to it to get past the door. However, one of the [[Dalek]]s inside is revived and attacks the two archaeologists with its manipulator arm. Guillaume is killed, and Jules manages to escape but is put in shock. | ||
Some time later, the Doctor arrives at the dig, claiming to the lead archaeologist that it is a '''surprise'' surprise inspection.' He learns that the archaeologists are supposedly excavating a Bronze Age burial chamber. Much to his surprise, when he enters one of the tents, he finds that all of the 'artifacts' they have uncovered are the rusted components of Dalek casings! After demanding to see the chamber, the Doctor unlocks the supposed tomb and the archaeologists are shocked to find the room within brimming with extremely advanced technology. Upon a nearby table lies a seemingly-unconscious man, which quickly activates and attacks the group, revealing itself to be merely a robotic [[Dalek Duplicate]] of an unfortunate captive whose skeletal remains lie beside it. Shortly after escaping, the group stumbles upon a corridor filled with rusted, damaged Daleks - the Doctor explains that the mutants within the shells are merely dormant, conserving energy until they can find a new power source to power their casings. No sooner does he say this than the Daleks begin to slowly awaken, and try to destroy the group. The Doctor himself is struck by one of the guns, but survives due to the fact that the barely-active Daleks had yet to amass enough energy for a killing blast. | |||
The group manages to escape the Daleks' survival chamber, but much to the Doctor's horror he discovers that one of the archeologists, Pierre, had been working on a 'reconstruction project' using the pieces they had excavated. Entering Pierre's tent, he finds the man dead, and his [[Quasimodo Dalek|semi-accurate reconstruction project]] on the loose. | |||
The Quasimodo Dalek is able to restore power to the Dalek ship from power cables. Daleks start attacking the archaeologists. However the Doctor uses a cable from the TARDIS to overload the Dalek ship. He then tells of the events which led to the Dalek ship being there. | |||
In France he found a Dalek working with Lord Hellcombe to construct robot Daleks, with which Hellcombe hoped to win the war. The Doctor also met Corporal Anderson. The Dalek had brought Hellcombe's son Ralph back after he was shot down. The Doctor realises the Daleks shot Ralph down, and have reconstructed him in a robot body to manipulate Hellcombe. The Doctor discovers a Dalek doing the same thing to a German scientist whose son was killed in Russia, so he wants revenge. The Doctor thinks the Daleks crashed in a time-storm. The Daleks reveal they have been travelling through history to gain knowledge of human strategy. They landed there in 1908 and plan to finally say how humans will react toward certain death. The British Daleks and German Daleks are sent toward each other but turn on the humans. The Daleks are ordered to exterminate all the soldiers to eradicate all evidence of Dalek activity. The soldiers order a shell bombardment. The Doctor changes the robot Daleks so they recognise Daleks as enemies. Lord Hellcombe dies fighting the Daleks. Ralph crashes a plane into the Dalek saucer, bringing it down. The bombardment destroys the Daleks but the Doctor and Anderson escape through one of the Dalek portals, closing it before the Daleks pursuing them can get through. The Doctor leaves. | In France he found a Dalek working with Lord Hellcombe to construct robot Daleks, with which Hellcombe hoped to win the war. The Doctor also met Corporal Anderson.
