Dalek eyestalk: Difference between revisions

Dalek eyestalks were worth a considerable amount during the [[Second Dalek War]] of the [[26th century]]. They were collected by [[Dalek Killer]]s and bounty hunters and were worth 20 decacredits after they were returned to the [[Earth Empire|Earth forces]] to confirm a kill. Some people like [[Jon Bowman]] and his crew on-board the ''[[Wayfarer]]'' did this for a living. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'', ''[[Prisoner of the Daleks (novel)|Prisoner of the Daleks]]'') Outside of times of war, eyestalks still had value and could attest to someone's character since killing a Dalek was no small feat. [[The Doctor]] in his [[Eleventh Doctor|eleventh incarnation]] once salvaged the eyestalk of a [[Dalek (The Wedding of River Song)|damaged Supreme Dalek]] to use as bartering leverage with [[Gantok]] to learn more about [[the Silence]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'') On another occasion, the Doctor used an eyestalk to display proof of his courage and comradeship to gain the trust of one of the many [[fleet]]s [[Siege of Trenzalore|besieging]] [[Trenzalore]], before realising he had landed on a [[Dalek flying saucer|Dalek ship]] who immediately attacked him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'') He kept the eyestalk of a Dalek from the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]] in the [[TARDIS drawing room]].
