After answering a fake distress signal from [[Penal Planet X26]], [[ADF]] agents [[Joel Shaw]] and [[Reb Shavron]] soon find themselves under attack from the prisoners.  Unbeknownst to anyone, however, one of the prisoner's scientific research has attracted the [[Dalek]]s' attention, opening up a second front for the beleaguered ADF.

Prisoners [[Zarg]] and Professor [[Verlaine]] hatch an escape plan on [[Penal Planet X26]].  They send up a fake distress signal, claiming that the planet is being overrun by [[Dalek]]s.  Although emergency messages from X26 routinely ignored by the [[United Planets]]' internal security organisations, the [[Anti-Dalek Force]] feels an obligation to investigate potential Dalek incursions on ''any'' UP world.

In truth, there's no direct sense of continuity between stories in the 1970s Dalek annuals, except that they do quite often feature [[Joel Shaw]].  Time placement here follows publication order, which is an arbitrary way of creating a chronology.
