Some time later, the Doctor arrives at the dig, claiming to the lead archaeologist, [[Angela Todd]], 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. | Some time later, the Doctor arrives at the dig, claiming to the lead archaeologist, [[Angela Todd]], that it is a '''surprise'' surprise inspection.'
