=== Prelude === | |||
{{main|Battle of Hope Valley}} | |||
In the [[9th century]], a [[Reconnaissance Dalek|Dalek]] [[reconnaissance scout]] came to [[Earth]] with the intention of claiming the planet for the [[Dalek Empire]]. To defeat the [[Dalek]], an army of former enemies banded together. The army fought "the bloodiest of battles" against the Dalek, suffering massive casualties. Finally, the army managed to trap the Dalek in netting and set its casing on fire, destroying it and "only just" won the battle. However, the [[Kaled mutant]] inside was not destroyed in the fire. | |||
Because of the fear the Dalek had instilled in its enemies, the warriors that would become known as the [[Three Custodians]] cut the [[Dalek mutant]] into three pieces with the plan to bury them at opposite ends of the world and forever guard the burial sites as a precaution to prevent the Dalek from ever returning. Two of the pieces ended up on [[Anuta Island]] in the South Pacific and [[Siberia]], [[Russia]]. However, while crossing the area that would one day become [[Sheffield]], the third Custodian was killed, preventing him from carrying out his task. The third piece of the Dalek was left with the Custodian's body where he fell and remained there for over a thousand years. ([[TV]]: ''[[Resolution (TV story)|Resolution]]'') | |||
=== The Incident === | |||
Buried by the passage of time, the Lost Custodian was eventually found beneath [[Sheffield Town Hall]] and the location became an archeological dig. On [[1 January|New Year's Day]] [[2019]], the Lost Custodian's piece of the Kaled mutant was found by [[archaeologist]]s [[Lin (Resolution)|Lin]] and [[Mitch (Resolution)|Mitch]]. The third piece of the Kaled was accidentally revived under [[ultraviolet]] light, and [[spatial shift|summoned]] its other parts. The Dalek subsequently took control of [[Lin (Resolution)|Lin]], one of the archaeologists, and used her to gain intelligence, acquire [[police car|transport]], and retrieve its old [[gunstick]]. Using remnants of its old shell, combined with spare parts found at [[Dinkle]]'s [[farm]], Lin built this Dalek a new metal casing. | |||
Letting Lin go, the Dalek went on a rampage ([[TV]]: ''[[Resolution (TV story)|Resolution]]'') in what was dubbed the Recon Scout Incident. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek Combat Training Manual (novel)|Dalek Combat Training Manual]]'') It killed an entire [[army]] detachment, and fired a [[missile]] into their [[tank]], destroying it. The Dalek was intent on contacting its [[fleet]], and made its way to the [[Government Communications Headquarters]] in order to enact its plan. It shut down all power in the [[UK]] in the process. | |||
The Dalek was finally stopped by the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], [[Graham O'Brien]], [[Yasmin Khan]], [[Ryan Sinclair]], [[Mitch (Resolution)|Mitch]], Lin and [[Aaron Sinclair|Aaron]] using a [[microwave oven]], which melted its new casing. However, the Kaled latched onto Aaron, and demanded transport in [[the Doctor's TARDIS]]. The Dalek was finally thwarted when the Thirteenth Doctor jettisoned it into a [[supernova]]. The Dalek attempted to take Aaron with it, but Ryan managed to reach his father who fought off the Dalek's control while his son pulled him to safety.
