Death to the Daleks (TV story): Difference between revisions
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
replaced pic in body with one that includes Exxilons in shot; old pic was oddly shaped and didn't really tell the story of what had happened
(a shot of Bellal and the City is more representative of the overall story than just an Exxillon) |

The Doctor, meanwhile, encounters a [[Marine Space Corps]] expedition whose ship has also crashlanded due to the power drain. They are in search of the rare mineral [[Parrinium]], found only on Exxilon, which is desperately needed to cure a galactic plague. Another ship lands nearby. The Marines initially mistake it for a rescue vessel, but a squad of [[Dalek]]s emerge, guns at the ready. | The Doctor, meanwhile, encounters a [[Marine Space Corps]] expedition whose ship has also crashlanded due to the power drain.

[[Image: | [[Image:ExxilonsDestroyDalek.jpg|left|thumb|A Dalek is destroyed by the Exxilons]]The energy drain, fortunately, has disabled the Daleks' weaponry. They also are seeking Parrinium, as their own worlds are falling victim to the plague (so they say). The Doctor, the Marines, and the Daleks form an uneasy alliance to find the source of the energy so they can escape, but they are all captured by the Exxilons. The Doctor saves Sarah from sacrifice, but is recaptured and is himself sentenced to die. They are rescued by [[Bellal]], a friendly Exxilon, who explains how their civilization had once been very technologically advanced. Thousands of years ago they built the enormous city, one of the 700 [[Wonders of the Universe]], which became sentient and drove them out. The Doctor realizes that they must infiltrate the city to deactivate the energy drain. | ||
The Daleks, meanwhile, replace their electronic weaponry with mechanical projectile weapons and soon seize control of the Exxilons, forcing them into slavery to mine the Parrinium for them. An enormous metallic snake-like creature occasionally emerges from the caves to pick off a stray Dalek. | The Daleks, meanwhile, replace their electronic weaponry with mechanical projectile weapons and soon seize control of the Exxilons, forcing them into slavery to mine the Parrinium for them.
