The Laboratory.

Tardis Materilaisation sound finishes.

Auxiliary Dalek: Emperor what should I do?

Emperor Dalek: (over tannoy) Keep The Doctor in The Laboratory, do not let him leave his blue box! Reinforcements are on the way!

Auxiliary Dalek: Blue box? What blue box?

Click and the sound of a door swinging open.

Emperor Dalek: (over tannoy) His Tardis you fool don't let him leave!

Auxiliary Dalek: It's not a blue box It is a Grandfather Clock!

Voice: And I am not The Doctor!

Emperor Dalek: (over tannoy) Who are you?

Auxiliary Dalek: You will identify yourself! Auxiliary Dalek interrogating prisoner!

Voice: Prisoner? I think not, I am The Master! And you will obey me!

(And indeed it is! The Roger Delgado version.)

Emperor Dalek: (over tannoy) That will not work on my Daleks!

Auxiliary Dalek: (dreamily) Master! What do you require?

Emperor Dalek: (over tannoy) Oh Krukking hell!

Door slide open. The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek, and Other Daleks 2 and 3 enter.

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: DO NOT MOVE!

Other Dalek 2: Do not Move!

Other Dalek 3: DO NOOOTTTT MMMOOOVVVEEEEEEE!

Awkward pause.

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: You are a prisoner of the Daleks…

Other Dalek 3: (interrupts) DOOOO NOOOOOOTTTT MMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVEEEEEEE!

Pause

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: I'll deal with you later!

Emperor Dalek: (over Tannoy) bring him to me!

The Master: Wait! Turn your eyestalks to me! Look at my eyes I'm going to click my fingers, (clicks) you are all under my power! I am The Master and you will obey me and only me! You will not remember this conversation, but when I give the command to "Exterminate!" You will all exterminate The Emperor, I am going to click my fingers again, you will all return to your duties on one, two, three, (clicks) And you're back in the room!

Pause

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: Are you done?

The Master: It didn't work did it?

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: Nope!

The Master: Ahh well okay then Bye!

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: STAY WHERE YOU ARE OR YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATTTEEEEDDDDD!

Pause

The Master: Only joking! Take me to see The Emperor, I have an interesting proposition for him.

A planet somewhere in the universe, waves can be heard lapping against the shore.

Dalek 1: Well that was fun!

Dalek 2: Yes! You can't beat a good exterminate!

Dalek 1: We must now return to the Emperor!

Dalek 2: Wait! What is that smell?

Dalek 1: I expect it's something to do with all the hundreds of dead fish I've noticed washing up all over the beeaach!

Dalek 2: Must be something in the water!

Dalek 1: Come on let's go!

Klunk of a door shutting and the Space ship takes off.

The Lair Of The Emperor Dalek.

Emperor Dalek: So have you come to negotiate or surrender?

The Master: Negotiate?

Emperor Dalek: Yes! I see you survived the Time War, are you here to negotiate or surrender?

Pause

Emperor Dalek: Well?

The Master: Time War? I have no idea what you mean, I was travelling in the time space vortex when suddenly my ship went off course and was forced to land here!

Emperor Dalek: I see! Very well exterminate him!

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: Emperor! That may cause another time paradox!

Emperor Dalek: I know I'm going to regret this but explain!

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: The Master is a time lord, he is travelling through time, in his personal history certain events are yet to occur and exterminating him now will alter history!

Emperor Dalek: Like what?

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: Er… Things we cannot mention in front of the prisoner in case he uses the information to change the course of history!

Emperor Dalek: It doesn't matter; I seem to remember we executed him on Skaro eventually!

Pause

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: Things like that!

Emperor Dalek: Oh kruk!

The Master: So Emperor you can't exterminate me yet! And all I have to do is avoid travelling to Skaro! HA Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Emperor Dalek: All the more reason to exterminate him now before he does any further damage to the time line!

The Master: No wait! I can be of use to you!

Emperor Dalek: I know I'm definitely going to regret asking this, but how could you be of use to The Daleks?

The Master: I see you are using humans to create a new army of Daleks, is it successful?

Emperor Dalek: Of course!

The Master: But I notice some of them still retain their humanity, some of your Daleks are still too human, too susceptible!

Emperor Dalek: You know no such thing; this is just another one of your scams!

The Master: Let us see (clicks) EXTERMINATE!

Pause

Emperor Dalek: As I thought none of my Daleks were really taken in by your ridiculous attempts at hypnotism!

Other Dalek 3: EXTERMINATE THE EMPEROR!

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: EXTERMINATE!

Extermination sound and explosion.

Emperor Dalek: Well done, Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek! So only one of my Daleks was taken in by your ridiculous attempts at hypnotism!

Doors slide open.

Auxiliary Dalek: EXTERMINATE THE EMPEROR!

Extermination sounds.

Auxiliary Dalek: (faintly) Auxiliary Dalek dyyyiiiiiinnnngggggggg!

Pause

Emperor Dalek: Yes, well, he doesn't count!

The Master: But nevertheless, you can see there is a flaw, I can help you, just let me use your laboratory, place me under guard if you wish, I promise it will be to your advantage!

Emperor Dalek: Very well… but if you fail

The Master: (interrupts) You will have me exterminated! Well in fact I already know you will so I wont be holidaying in your neighbourhood! However if I can't avoid that I will cheat death somehow, and get The Doctor to bring my remains back to Gallifrey so I can take over his body and his remaining incarnations! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Emperor Dalek: Take him to the laboratory!

The Master: Or perhaps I should steal the sash of Rasillon…

Other Dalek 2: YOU WILL COME WITH ME!

Doors slide open

The Master ( fading off) Or steal some paintings…Prevent The Magna Carta…Visit The Cheetah people…

Pause

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: Permission to speak freely Emperor!

Emperor Dalek : Very well..

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: You cannot trust The Master he is krukking nuts! He shrinks people and keeps them in his lunchbox!

Emperor Dalek: I have heard the rumours, what does his Tardis look like?

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: At the moment it is a chest of draws, which he exited via the bottom drawer!

Emperor Dalek: Have his Tardis taken to your storage room, and make sure The Master is observed at all times!

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: All times?

Emperor Dalek: YES! Even if it means missing Bullseye!

The Special Tools Arclight Welding Dalek: I obey!

Emperor Dalek: Excellent! It must be time for Countdown soon…
