A corridor somewhere in The Dalek ship.

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek is moving down the corridor, bucket of water clunking away (The bucket hangs over his gun.) His spray paint arm attachment has been adapted, i.e. one end of the hose is in the bucket of soapy water.

He stops.

Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: ELEVATE!

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek elevates, and hovers, sound of water spray hitting a window.

Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: Activate shammy!

Clicking sound as the spray hose retracts.

Pause.

Sound of a squeaky shammy rubbing against a window.

The Lair Of The Emperor Dalek.

Emperor Dalek: So! This is the Marine Dalek?

Dalek: Yes!

Emperor Dalek: Why was the Marine Dalek commissioned?

Dalek 1: The human test subject requested a position as a Marine Dalek!

Dalek 2: He used to be a diver…

Emperor Dalek: He wanted to be converted?

Dalek 1: Correct!

Dalek 2: He asked us to "Dalek him up!"

Emperor Dalek: He did not show fear?

Dalek 1: No!

Emperor Dalek: And you altered the processing just to suit this human?

Dalek 1: Yes!

Emperor Dalek: You disobeyed my order!

Dalek 1: We used our initiative!

Emperor Dalek: Hmmm…. Who was this human?

Dalek 1: He called himself Peter!

Dalek 2: With a "P"!

Emperor Dalek: The Big Brother Contestant?

Dalek 1: Correct!

Emperor Dalek: The one who upset all his housemates, because he told them how much he looked forward to the evictions? That he enjoyed watching his fellow housemates get vaporised?

Dalek 1: We believe so!

Dalek 2: We are soldiers we do not watch television!

Emperor Dalek: Of course! And neither do I! The broadcasts are monitored for security purposes…Was he the one that made Lynda with a "Y" cry?

Dalek 1: Security surveillance revealed this was because she was nearly evicted in week six and he told her "better luck next time!"

Emperor Dalek: I liked him… He was amusing! Tell me how many Marine Daleks do we presently have in our ranks?

Dalek: Including this one?

Emperor Dalek: Yes!

Pause

Dalek: One!

Emperor Dalek: Only one?

Dalek: Marine Daleks have always been very underrepresented!

Emperor Dalek: I will speak with this Marine Dalek!

Dalek 1: He has taken a vow of silence!

Emperor Dalek: A what?

Dalek 1: A vow of silence in protest at the Blingy gold colour of his casing!

Emperor Dalek: All Daleks are to be made Blingy Gold, I have ordered it thus!

Dalek: Traditionally Marine Daleks have always been coloured to blend into an aquatic environment! The colour of choice is Aquamarine!

Another Dalek: Sort of greeny bluey !

Emperor Dalek: I see

Dalek: Except during the invasion of the star system known as Fluffy Alpha seven!

Emperor Dalek: Ahhh yes! The sea was pink!

Dalek: What do you wish to be done with this Marine Dalek?

Emperor Dalek: I will think about it!

Dalek: And the Daleks who initiated the conversion?

Emperor Dalek: They disobeyed my order; there is only one punishment for that! And yet they showed initiative! Take them into holding whilst I ponder their fate!

Dalek: And The Marine Dalek?

Emperor Dalek: Let me see, where do YOU think we should keep a Dalek that has been bred to withstand aquatic conditions?

Pause

Dalek: I do not know!

Emperor Dalek: Did you attend the initiative course?

Dalek: Yes!

Emperor Dalek: And the team bonding workshop?

Dalek: It was compulsory!

Emperor Dalek: Show me your certificate!

Dalek: Retrieving Certificate, (whirrs and clicks)

Emperor Dalek: Hold it just there!

Exterminate sound!

Emperor Dalek: There I have destroyed your certificate!

Dalek: I do not understand! I answered the questions in the Team Bonding Workshop! I caught the ball! You said my roleplay skills were excellent!

Emperor Dalek: Yet you cannot answer my question! Anyone else care to hazard a guess?

Pause

Emperor Dalek: Anyone?

Dalek 1: If I may Emperor, we planned to store The Marine Dalek in the swimming pool!

Emperor Dalek: The pool?

Dalek 1: Yes!

Emperor Dalek: My pool?

Dalek 1: Correct!

Emperor Dalek: The one reserved for my exclusive use!

Dalek 1: Would it be better if I just started saying no at this point?

Pause

Emperor Dalek: You are correct! It is the only possible place we can shove him in at present! See if there are any bits of coral or seashells lying around to bung in the pool as well, make it seem more like a typical ocean!

Another Dalek: I'm sure we can find some oil drums, tyres and broken bottles to put in there too!

Emperor Dalek: Excellent! I shall leave it to you!

The Laboratory.

Sulky Dalek: I have been instructed to provide you with any necessary materials for the building of a time travel device.

Davros: Excellent! I have a list!

Sulky Dalek : Proceed!

Davros: I need two large mirrors, preferably coated with orthopositronium, if not I'll need a tin of orthopositronium paint, but make sure it's vinyl and not gloss! I will require some temporal stabilisers, four will suffice, and a large clock, ideally Sub Atomic or Berylium, if not we will have to make do with Swiss Cuckoo! Also get some jump leads a couple of double A batteries, preferably long life, and some Positron linkage leads!

Sulky Dalek: You will not be allowed Positron access!

Davros: If I am to successfully navigate you through the time vortex to the correct time and place I will need to be linked to the ships flight systems via positronic linkage! Otherwise you could end up absolutely anywhere!

Sulky Dalek: A Pilot Navigator Dalek will be assigned to this duty!

Davros: IT WILL NOT WORK! The Time corridor can only be controlled by a navigator who is imbued with Chronons, and one can only be exposed to Chronons if like me, one has recently travelled through time!

Pause.

Sulky Dalek: So we're stuffed then!

Davros: You need me!

Sulky Dalek: Anything else you require?

Davros: just one thing more…

Sulky Dalek: proceed!

Davros: I rather fancy a cuppa! Put the kettle on bitch!
