The Dalek continued travelling through the facility, up through the facility's staircases. In one skirmish with the facility's remaining security forces, it activated the fire extinguishers, soaking the personnel with water before the Dalek opened fire, electrocuting all the [[human]]s simultaneously with its weapons' conductivity.
