Davros's trial (Revelation of the Daleks): Difference between revisions

Ultimately, Davros was cut off by the Black Dalek, who spoke in its turn. Davros had never renounced his claim to be the supreme ruler of the Daleks; to him, they were nothing more than an extension of his own purposes. The Black Dalek insisted, however, that the Daleks could do what was needed without Davros, who would undoubtedly seize his first opportunity to reprogram them to obey him again. As Davros could not be trusted, it was deemed necessary for him to be [[exterminated]] so that the Dalek race could achieve its own destiny. Davros denounced the Daleks as [[fool]]s if they were to reject him, promising that without him they were doomed. The Daleks refused to listen further, and [[death sentence|sentenced]] their creator to death. Davros managed one last attempt to regain power, for there were some within the [[Dalek hierarchy|Dalek ranks]], including even within the Supreme Council, who felt that he was possibly telling the truth. At any rate, there were some Daleks who felt that Davros could be used and then discarded once his mind had been drained and utilized. A rescue attempt was staged but was anticipated by the Black Dalek had been anticipating this; since the disastrous losses of the [[Movellan War]], he had known that there was talk of overthrowing the Council and reforming the Dalek power scheme. The true and only reason Davros had been brought to Skaro was to force the rebel elements into the open.

The Black Dalek and his forces struck against whom they deemed to be [[traitor]]s. They succeeded in slaying the dissidents, leaving Davros with no means of escape. The Black Dalek ensured that the Dalek creator was condemned, and he was placed within a [[matter transmitter]]. It was set on a broad beam, and his component molecules were scattered about [[Skaro's sun]]. Despite his rantings and boasts, this resulted in the apparent death of Davros and the end of the war for the final control of the Daleks.
