Doctor Who: Death In Winter (Or The Great Extermination)

The TARDIS materialized after a rather bumpy ride with a loud groaning/wheezing noise. The occupants of the ship made it to their feet after having crashed to the floor. The Doctor (in his Sixth Incarnation) frowned deeply. "Now what was that all about old girl?" The Doctor asked as he patted the control console. The man traveling with this Doctor: Grant Stood up, dusted himself off and waved his arms in an attept to clear some of the smoke cause by the TARDIS' outburst. "So Doctor, where have we landed?" Grant asked while coughing a bit.

The Doctor activated the view screen and what he saw caused his eyebrows to raise up into his curly fair hair. The landscape outside was that of a frozen war torn wasteland. Bodies were partially buried benieth snow and ice, buildings were half caved in and there was the unmistakable scorch marks denoting blaster fire of some sort. "Well, this is a most unpleasant place indeed." The Doctor grabbed his multi-colored coat off of the coat rack and donned it and he tossed Grant his jacket. "I assume we're heading out then?" Grant smiled slightly as The Doctor glared at him lightly. "Indeed. We must discover what has happened here. Now come along Grant….we haven't got all day." The Doctor grinned as he opened the TARDIS doors.

The Doctor and Grant exit the TARDIS and step out into this unknown frozen wasteland. Snow was falling steadilly onto The Doctor and Grant. "Hmm it's snowing Doctor." Grant mused. The Doctor gave him a grave expression and shook his head. "No Grant, I'm afraid this is not snow...it is in fact ash. Most likely as a result of either the blaster fire or the collapsing buildings….or possibly both." The Doctor sighed "No, something terrible has happened here. Let's press on shall we?" The Doctor and Grant continued to trudge through the ash and debris occasionally stopping to observe the death and decay around them.

Finally they came to a halt before a domed building. "How odd...one building untouched amongst all this destruction." Grant said to the Doctor. The Doctor looked worried "How odd indeed Grant. I think...we shall just have to investigate." Suddenly the two big doors made a groaning noise as they swung open slowly as though those doors hadn't been opened in ages. The Doctor squared his shoulders "After me I think."

The Doctor and Grant enter the domed building and find perfectly preserved beings frozen in ice. The Doctor's eyes widen in fear. Grant looks at the Doctor in concern. "Are you ok Doctor? What is it?" The Doctor shakes his head frantically for a moment before rambling "No no no it can't be...not them!" Grant whose face is now framed with fear puts his hand on the Doctor's arm "Doctor, what are they?!" The Doctor bows his head and utters one solitary terrifying word "Daleks".
