On [[16 July]], [[Hyper-Space News Agency]] correspondents watched [[Skaro]] closely for [[news]] of the [[Dalek]]s' latest activities because their [[war]] plans, which were abundunce in evidence during the last [[month]]s, had been shelved. Reports indicated that they were carrying out an unprecedented [[Science|scientific]] invenstigation into their own [[planet]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[["Come In, Tempest" (short story)|"Come In, Tempest"]]'') This investigation uncovered [[sand]] [[creature]]s in the [[desert]], areas of [[Mutation|mutated]] [[jungle]], and [[stone]]s with special properties. In the [[Polar Mountains]], they inadvertently awoke three [[humanoid Dalek]]s who had been frozen alive in [[ice]] when the [[neutronic war]] shifted the poles. [[Yvric]] believed he could exchange [[knowledge]] with their [[descendant]]s in return for becoming one of their [[leader]]s but he was promptly mistook for an [[Invasion|invading]] [[android]] and [[Extermination|exterminated]] without a second [[thought]]. Witnessing this atrocity, [[Lodian]] told [[Zet]] that he and Yvric had discovered a planet named [[Earth]] nine [[Galaxy|galaxies]] away and built a [[spacecraft]] to get there just before they were frozen. While Lodian intended to use the spacecraft to warn Earth of the Daleks, Zet betrayed him by knocking him out and handing him over to the Dalek [[machine]]s, hoping to bargain with them. However, Lodian escaped and was pursued back to their [[secret]] [[base]] by Zet and several Daleks. Determining that Zet would tell the Daleks of Earth even if he successfully escaped in his ship, Lodian made the [[Suicide|ultimate sacrifice]] and blew up the ship along with himself, Zet and the surrounding Daleks. Correspondents from the Hyper-Space News Agency were able to relay detailed reports of the entire affair back to Earth.

On [[17 September]], reports from "secret sources" revealed [[crisis]] conditions on Skaro. The [[Dalek Emperor]] was believed to be organising a full-scale investigation which was designed to locate [[One in a Million Dalek|the single Dalek]] who [[question]]ed an imperial order. It was said that the Dalek required a [[reason]] for clearing mutated [[plant]]-growth in the path of a [[Motorway|highway]] project. The ''[[TV 21]]'' report relayed from a Hyper-Space News Agency correspondent reiterated that the Dalek code was one of absolute obedience and that the development of [[free will]], should it spread, could subvert and destroy the entire race. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Daleks Face Destruction (short story)|Daleks Face Destruction]]'') It did spread and hordes of Daleks began to adorn themselves with [[flower]]s because the command to "protect [[beauty]]" had been given as a Dalek order. Soon the [[rebel]]s turned on their own kind for crushing such beautiful things as flowers. Eventually, the "one in a million" Dalek, who had developed [[human]]-like qualities in its "[[disease]]d [[brain]]" due to an [[accident]] in its manufacture, revealed itself and proclaimed to be the new Emperor. The [[Dalek Prime]] was aware that [[time]] alone would be its [[destruction]] and confronted the Dalek on its purported strength. The Prime observed the flowers on its [[casing]] were already [[Death|dying]] and ordered his loyalists to annihilate it, coldly stating as he turned away that "beauty [was] for human beings" and that to "destroy human beings" was the true Dalek directive.
