He knew he should have seen it coming. The Cult's rebellion.

The hybrid, Dalek Sec, sat, leaning against the cold, hard wall, heavy chains clamped around his wrists, thinking of different scenarios he could have taken, ones which wouldn't have lead to the Cult overthrowing his authority.

What was he expecting them to do?, they were pure Daleks, blinded by their never-ending quest for superiority. They didn't seem to understand that the only way the Daleks could survive was to evolve even if this meant they would no longer be the supreme beings.

Why did it seem that Sec was the only one who could understand this?

Dalek Sec stared out into the huge laboratory, thoughts clouding his mind. The laboratory was empty except for a couple of pig slaves, all three other Daleks had left. The only thing Sec could think was how has a once powerful race been reduced to this? rebellious and fighting for survival on a primitive world.

After what seemed like hours alone, Sec heard a faint, mechanical sound of a Dalek travel units. The sound grew louder as the Daleks approached the laboratory.

Sec began to wonder whether he was going to be exterminated. They wouldn't go that far, would they?

Sec's thoughts were interupted by two Daleks entering the laboratory. It was Dalek Thay and Dalek Jast. They didn't seem to aknowledge his existance as they glided across the laboratory.

Dalek Thay stopped in the centre and turned to Jast. 'We calculate the gamma strike has accelerated further by 47 rels. If the experiment is to succeed, we must ensure all the humans are primed to recieve new genetic information. If not the fusion between Dalek and Human DNA is likely to fail. The army must awaken so the Daleks can create a new version of Skaro on this planet. These Humans are our best chance of victory.'

Dalek Sec was horrified, Thay refered to the Humans as an army. Did this mean they intended to use his creations for battle?

Sec couldn't help himself anymore as he shouted out to the Daleks. 'You can't do this, the Dalek-Humans were not created for this purpose! You will stop them from being used for this' Dalek Thay gave a dismissive look at Sec 'silence!' he grated, coldly 'your opinions are no longer relevant to the Cult'. This just made Sec even more angry 'I am your leader, Dalek Sec! You will obey me!'

Thay ignored his outburst and turned back to Dalek Jast. 'You will be responsible for preparing the humans to recieve new genomes. Do not fail or you will be exterminated'. Said Thay, turning to leave and return to his new leader, Caan. 'I obey' replied Jast, quietly.

Sec noticed that as Dalek Thay was leaving, Jast kept moving his eyestalk between himself and watching Dalek Thay leave. When he was satisfied Thay had gone, Jast turned towards Sec and started to move forward, his death ray primed, ready to kill. Sec's fears started to creep up on him again and his heart started to pound, he was going to die.

-x-x-x-x-

Sec closed his eye in anticipation for the deadly beam of Jast's death ray to hit him, although it never came. He heard two blasts either side of his head. Was Jast using him as a target practice? As Sec slowly opened his eye, he saw Jast infront of him, he had powered down his weapon and seemed to be waiting for some kind of response from Sec.

Sec, however just looked at the wall where Jast had shot to find the chains that binded him to it had been snapped in half. Sec looked up at Jast in confusion. Why was he setting him free?
