In [[2067]], [[T.J. Younger]] replaced [[Nikita Bandranaik]] as [[World President]] due to the latter's ill [[health]]. Younger never, at least publicly, acknowledged the Dalek threat.

It was stated that the [[hyper-space communications scanner]], which relayed reports back to the [[Fleet Street]] [[office]]s, had broken down. Additionally, ''TV 21'' had been led to believe that the Daleks themselves were responsible and therefore had taken over its complete control.

Passing through the [[solar system]] on its way to Earth, the [[Dalek Fleet]] converged with an unusual [[fleet]] of [[spacecraft]] of an organic construction which was also heading for Earth. Believing that the occupants must also have had plans to invade, the [[Dalek Prime]] ordered their destruction. However, their new [[Enemy|enemies]], having already scanned the Daleks with their [[mind]]-seeking devices, immediately launched a counter-attack and annihilated several [[Dalek ship]]s. While confusion reigned on the [[Dalek Flagship]] and further retaliation only yielded more casualties, the Daleks retreated towards [[Titan]] after suspecting the mind-reading capabilities of their foes. Finding a human [[mining]] [[base]] on the [[moon]], the Daleks demonstrated their [[power]] by wiping out [[Colony Five]] and capturing six of its men to do their bidding. Instilled with the necessary [[knowledge]] and experience of the Daleks' plight, [[Trent (Return of the Elders)|Commander Trent]] and [[Johnson (Return of the Elders)|Johnson]] were coerced into helping them to protect their own [[homeworld]]. Their attack failed and they were confronted with a being who identified himself as [[Kaslan]]. Kaslan explained that he belonged to a race of [[Elder (Return of the Elders)|Elders]] who existed between the physical and sub-etheric [[dimension]]s. He further stated that their "invasion fleet" was actually a medium through which [[thought]]s and [[Energy|energies]] could be directed and that they had "seeded" Earth in the [[distant past]] and had returned to "purify" it after man's abuse. As Trent and Johnson were just pawns, Kaslan freed them of the malevolent influence. According to him, the Daleks would invade Earth in the [[future]] to be resisted by "[[First Doctor|another]]" but that until the work of the Elders was done they had to intervene. Kaslan's mind then reached out to touch those of the Daleks creating blind self-destruction as the Dalek Fleet fired upon itself. The [[Dalek Emperor|Emperor]] was spared to suffer the "ultimate humiliation" but with the [[battle]] over, Kaslan freed Trent to pursue the Prime himself in order to seek [[revenge]] for his fallen comrades. | |||
Outnumbered by Trent's squad, the Dalek Prime sought to seek advantage of their pursuers' limited experience of Dalek technology by retreating into the [[planetary ring]]s of [[Saturn]]. Trent was able to pick off one of the [[Dalek flying saucer|Dalek saucers]] with a lucky shot which left only the Emperor's ship remaining. As they watched it on the scanner, Trent speculated that the Emperor must have panicked and dived out of the way but that they were now travelling too fast to pull out and would resultantly burn up in Saturn's [[atmosphere]]. Disappointed they were unable to fire the kill shot, Trent and his men returned to Titan. However, the Daleks had operated their [[nul-grav system]] to avoid destruction. Certain they would have another oppurtunity to invade Earth and flanked by [[Black Dalek Leader|the Black Dalek]] and [[Red Dalek (Return of the Elders)|the Red Dalek]], the Dalek Prime vowed that they would not fail the next time.
