A couple, [[Natasha Stengos|Natasha]] and [[Grigory (Revelation of the Daleks)|Grigory]], have illegally entered Tranquil Repose, also looking for the scientist the Doctor is visiting — [[Arthur Stengos]], her father. They find his assigned suspended animation capsule empty. Shocked, they continue looking and proceed downward. They find a dark room filled with pulsating brains and other experiments. Grigory walks past a [[Glass Dalek]] casing with a mutating red creature inside it. It opens its eye and when Natasha looks at it, the creature opens its mouth and starts saying, "Na.. tasha? Natasha?". Natasha realises it is the head of her father and he discloses that he is being changed into a Dalek. | A couple, [[Natasha Stengos|Natasha]] and [[Grigory (Revelation of the Daleks)|Grigory]], have illegally entered Tranquil Repose, also looking for the scientist the Doctor is visiting — [[Arthur Stengos]], her father.

[[Kara (Revelation of the Daleks)|Kara]] is an executive whose company distributes a protein food supplement throughout the famine-decimated galaxy. She has actually been creating the food supplement out of the bodies of those at Tranquil Repose with no intention of ever bringing healing to most of its residents, since the famine made it unreasonable to allow more people back into the population. She fell under the authority of the Great Healer when he took over operations at Tranquil Repose, but who in actuality is [[Davros]] (now apparently reduced to a disembodied head in a tank as a result of being infected by the [[Movellan virus]]) and is leading | [[Kara (Revelation of the Daleks)|Kara]] is an executive whose company distributes a protein food supplement throughout the famine-decimated galaxy.

She fell under the authority of the Great Healer when he took over operations at Tranquil Repose, but who in actuality is [[Davros]] (now apparently reduced to a disembodied head in a tank as a result of being infected by the [[Movellan virus]]) and is leading [[Imperial Daleks|Daleks loyal to him]]. He takes virtually all the money she makes. To dissolve this arrangement, she hires the mercenary [[Orcini]] and his grubby squire, [[Bostock]] to assassinate the Great Healer. She gives Orcini a transmitter with a five-button passcode which must be entered when Orcini enters Davros's headquarters. Orcini accepts the contract solely for the honour of killing Davros. With Davros eliminated, she believes she will have the power and the capital to control the galaxy. | ||
Back in the lab Natasha and Grigory discovered, Arthur Stengos, who is now just a head with fleshy growths, explains to them what's going on. He says that the brains of everybody in Tranquil Repose are being changed into new Dalek mutants. He says his mind has been conditioned to serve "the Great Healer", but he can't remember who "the Great Healer" actually is. He tells his daughter to kill him before he fully mutates, he then begins to exclaim Dalek rhetoric. While she hesitates, Grigory pulls his own gun, but Natasha stops him and shoots her father herself. Then the two are captured, thrown in a cell and questioned by [[Takis (Revelation of the Daleks)|Takis]] and [[Lilt]], who try to inebriate Grigory to get him to talk. | Back in the lab Natasha and Grigory discovered, Arthur Stengos, who is now just a head with fleshy growths, explains to them what's going on.

Davros gleefully informs the Doctor of Natasha and Grigory's deaths and reveals that even had they succeeded in destroying the laboratory, it would have achieved nothing, as his main force of Daleks is safely hidden elsewhere. As he goes to activate his Daleks, Bostock retrieves his gun and blows off Davros's hand. Bostock is immediately exterminated by a nearby Dalek, and a furious Davros vows to have the Doctor and Peri converted into Daleks as revenge for all the problems the Time Lord has ever caused him. | Davros gleefully informs the Doctor of Natasha and Grigory's deaths and reveals that even had they succeeded in destroying the laboratory, it would have achieved nothing, as his main force of Daleks is safely hidden elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Daleks loyal to the [[Supreme | Meanwhile, Daleks [[Renegade Dalek|loyal]] to the [[Supreme Dalek]] and not to Davros arrive from [[Skaro]], called by [[Takis (Revelation of the Daleks)|Takis]] who sought to end the Davros control over [[Necros]] after realising what has been going on. The forces of the [[Dalek Empire]] demand to be taken to Davros, and Takis leads the way. Shortly, some of Davros Daleks and security forces appear and the two factions battle. The Daleks win and progress toward Davros. | ||

He tries to persuade them to capture the Doctor; however, they do not recognise the Doctor because of his regeneration. The Daleks inform Davros that he is to be taken back to Skaro to be put on trial for crimes against the Daleks, while Davros's Daleks will be reprogrammed to serve the Supreme Dalek. Before being escorted away by the Daleks, Davros tells the Doctor that he will return. "And I shall be waiting for you," replies the Doctor. | ||

Orcini wants to explode the bomb before Davros's ship leaves — he hesitates and allows all to leave only because of the Doctor. The Doctor wants to set a timer, but Orcini says there is no time.

The Doctor wants to set a timer, but Orcini says there is no time. They all rush out, and Orcini blows the bomb after hugging the body of Bostock. Unfortunately, the blast does not destroy the escaping Dalek ship, which causes Peri to think that Orcini threw his life away for nothing. The Doctor reassures her that Orcini died for something very honourable: the destruction of Davros's new generation of Daleks. | ||
With Tranquil Repose now devoid of its clients, and most of the facility having been destroyed by the explosion, the Doctor tells the surviving staff that they can continue to live their lives by cultivating the native weed plant, which can replace the food that Davros and Kara were supplying. Peri asks for a vacation, so the Doctor agrees, proclaiming "All right, I'll take you to—" | With Tranquil Repose now devoid of its clients, and most of the facility having been destroyed by the explosion, the Doctor tells the surviving staff that they can continue to live their lives by cultivating the native weed plant, which can replace the food that Davros and Kara were supplying.
