The Doctor and Ace escape the Plexus by causing a nearby star to [[Nova]]. In the process, he causes the [[Cloister Bell]] to ring. The Doctor explains they are being flung across space and time. Ace is relieved when she hears the sound of the TARDIS landing, but the Doctor says it is just an auto-land. They land on a planet, and when the Doctor opens the doors, they hear children playing. While the Doctor is tinkering with the console, Ace sees a Dalek glide through the open doors. The Doctor uses the quantum stabiliser to stun the Dalek. He notices that the Dalek doesn't have a ray gun, instead it just has two manipulator arms. Just then, a small crowd of children from assorted planets rush in. One girl, [[Tulana]], confronts the Doctor. She takes the quantum stabiliser, and then three more Daleks come in. One blocks the door, while the other two approached their fallen comrade. One of the Daleks, Pytha, apoligises for his colleague, Sokar. He invites the Doctor for a tour of the academy after lunch. The group leaves, and Ace and the Doctor try to piece together what just happened. The Doctor concludes that they are on Skaro, however he knows that is not possible because Skaro doesn't exist anymore. He goes off to the bowels of the TARDIS to check the computer systems. | The Doctor and Ace escape the Plexus by causing a nearby star to [[Nova]].

An hour later the Doctor finishes his research, and concludes that these nice Daleks | An hour later the Doctor finishes his research, and concludes that these are nice Daleks ''instead'' of the evil ones, instead of an earlier hunch that they were a renegade faction. Skaro has become the universal centre of civilisation, philosophy, democracy and art, similar to ancient [[Greece]]. They are then escorted to lunch by Tulana. Ace notices that the food they serve on Skaro is very different to the food on Earth, so she eats whatever Tulana does. When lunch has finished, Tulana takes them on the promised tour of the Academy. During this, the Doctor is scolded by a Dalek for his comment on ancient Greece. The Doctor tells Tulana about the Daleks he knows, but she explains that the accidental Neutron War caused them to mutate. She claimed that the Daleks the Doctor had met could be criminal Daleks, or even impersonators. Tulana takes them back to the main building, and rambles about the majestics of Skaro. The Doctor offers to take her on a tour of the jungle of Skaro, and Tulana agrees. They spend an hour zipping around Skaro. On their way back, the Doctor discovers a fleet of Dalek spacecraft, the surround Daleks fully armed. When the Doctor confronts Tulana, she simply says that the Daleks need some way to protect themselves from attacks. The Doctor returns Tulana to the Academy. | ||
The Doctor spends the next few hours grumbling around the TARDIS, checking TARDIS archives and re-calibrating instruments. The Doctor eventually gives up, and is convinced by Ace to go to [[Gallifrey]] to talk to the Time Lords. Tulana is noticed on the monitor, and is let in by Ace. She hurriedly asks if the Doctor is going to see the Time Lords. The Doctor is amazed at how she knows he is going to Gallifrey. The Doctor doesn't want to take Tulana with them, but Tulana says she'll walk instead. The Doctor asks where she thinks she's going, and she replies that the [[High Council]] are at the hall to congratulate a Dalek medical team for operating on their [[Lord President]]. Tulana walks off, and the Doctor calls off his visit to Gallifrey, declaring that there is no point. Any change on the universe that big that happens without the Time Lords realising would be extremely dangerous indeed, he tells Ace. | The Doctor spends the next few hours grumbling around the TARDIS, checking TARDIS archives and re-calibrating instruments.
