It was dark,the entireuniverse was dark. No stars blanketed the emptyness, no galaxies slashed brilliantly through the cosmos. There was nothing.
A small consciousness stirred, not quite panicking at the nothingness, but in the back of it's mind, it was worried, the consciousness was not afraid, it had only been frightened of one thing in existence, the consciousness had died for that man, the Ka Faraq Gatri.
The being was dead, but that didn't diminish it's sheer will to live. It struggled aganst the darkness, as it had struggled it's entire existence. Against the Mechanoids, the Time War, the Medusa Cascade, the Doctor...it's own shell, it's brethren.
" EXPLAIN! " It managed to screech out of it's non existant mouth, fighting for those two syllables.
The nothingness swallowed the command, and moulded it, regurgitating the answer straight into the being's mind. Visions sliced into it like a hot knife through butter.
(FLASH BACK)
The being saw it's creation, nothing like a birth. Mutated cells multiplying in saline goo, billions and billions of them. Rushing to become until it was.
The first thing it had recognised as a mother. It was the dalek's first mission, sent to exterminate the humans that had been hiding. It was a snowy planet, somewhere near the Galactus Nebula. The humans had been hiding in a compound, protected from the cold by thick slabs of a thermal insulating metal, they didn't show up on heat scanners, nor would they have shown up on any other sensors, had they not left their dogs to guard. Dogs breathed out CO2, whiched had been detected.
The Dalek was alone, but was confident in it's abilities, waiting outside the compound, snow sizzling and evaporating off it's shell. The dogs were barking and howling noisily, straining at their chains to get to the Dalek just beyond their reach.
A woman had come out to investigate, bathing the Dalek in yellow light as she used some kind of lighting device.
The Dalek had never seen anything with this affliction before, she was bloated grotesquely, her breasts heavy and stomach engorged with some kind of tumor, what disease was this?
The Dalek scanned her and almost recoiled, two heart beats! Timelord! No! Something else.
The woman was waddling closer, bent oddly on swollen ankles, she absentmindedly stroked her stomach, breathing out between her teeth, hissing in pain.
The Dalek realised she was bearing young the moment her torchlight found the cyborg, the Dalek quickly advanced, eager to make it's first kill, or kills, however you looked at it.
The woman started mumbling and backing away, tripping over a snow drift, the ground crunching with the weight. The Dalek got a good look at her face then, her eyes were large and wet, the tears freezing on her face.
"Please don't shoot! My baby, please! " She sobbed, huddling into a ball around her swollen stomach.
The Dalek did not shoot, it merely shot out it's manipulator arm and pushed her in the stomach so hard that multiple organs popped, mucus and blood began to drain out from between the womans legs, blighting the snow and freezing to her body, as she writhed in pain, tearing at her own face in agony and emotional turmoil.
The Dakek merely watched in interest
"DA-LEKS REIGN SUP-REME " It blared, each flash lighting up the woman's face.
Those eyes haunted as the Dalek slaughtered the entire colony singlehandedly.
(END FLASHBACK)
Those eyes were looking at itself now, no longer seen through a scope, the consciousness realised that they were a brilliant rusty brown.
The entity was large, and bore the woman's image, completetly unclothed and heavily pregnant, the consciousness could see the light of billions of unborn galaxies residing within the thin skinned womb.
" Greetings! I am Mother, Mother of time. I'm glad you're here, Dalek Sec. I have grown fond of you."
