S2020-01 – Daleks!

A special bonus Sidecar episode on the Doctor Who, Time Lord Victorious, online animation special series – Daleks! Simon and Eugene discuss if this makes a good Dalek story. Synopsis: Part 1 The Daleks arrive on the planet Islos, planning to capture the Archive. The robotic defenders of the Archive resist in a futile effort against the might of the Daleks. The Dalek Strategist suggests that the robotic defenders might sacrifice all the life on the planet to serve their purpose of protecting the Archive at all costs. [expand title=”More…” swaptitle=”Less” tag=”strong”] The Emperor offers them a deal. Let us have it or we’ll destroy it. The robots surrender, but it is a ruse. They have used knowledge in the archive to open a portal to another dimension, found an entity there that would offer safe haven there for the Archive and the inhabitants of the city. All it wants in exchange is the Daleks. Part 2 The Daleks flee to Skaro, being dealt significant damage along the way. When they arrive at Skaro, the Entity, which can traverse time, is already there and the planet is wiped out. The few remaining Daleks travel to a planet that has a Dalek army in storage, guarded by a lone robot. They Strategist has it activated, but the robot has been got to by the Entity and reprograms the Daleks to think the Strategist is the Emperor. The Entity expects the Strategist to start a war with the Emperor, but he does not, and he has the Dalek army destroyed. Part 3 The Daleks head to the planet of the Mechanoids. They demand an alliance, but the bluff is called, the Mechanic Queen has determined that the Daleks are all but wiped out. She enters talks with the Emperor while the Strategist talks with a Mechanoid scientist. Meanwhile the remaining minion Daleks get impatient and start a fight. They are destroyed by the Mechanoids. The Emperor has an ace up his plunger to force the Mechanoids to fight: He’s lead the Entity to the planet, and it begins attacking. Part 4 Forced to work together, the Strategist and the Scientist defeat the entity and send it back to it’s universe. Now, only the Emperor and the Strategist remain. The Mechanic Queen knows they have been used by the Daleks and she’s going to wipe them out. She kills them both on the spot and the story ends. Except she doesn’t. She tells them to go back to Skaro and she’ll be along shortly to wipe them out. Part 5 The Emperor and the Strategist arrive back on Skaro, the Mechanoids soon arrive. The Emperor had more Daleks in reserve somewhere and the fighting begins. Outnumbered, the Mechanoids need an advantage. They capture the Strategist and offer him what he wants. He takes their offer. With their help, they use the same technique to eliminate the Entity on Mechanus to get rid of the Emperor on Skaro. But it was a ruse, the Strategist uses the weapon to eliminate all the Mechanoids. Dalek victory. But then, Entity-controlled bits of dead Mechanoids tell them that they don’t know what’s coming. Part 6 There is no episode 6. I guess this is the end? [/expand]
