Earth Orbit
The Death-Ship (Dalek Flagship)
(Skipper's POV)
"Okay," I said as we sat in the cell, "we need a way back to Earth..."
"Wasn't it your idea to go on that ship in the first place?" Classified said.
"Let's discuss who's fault it is later," Kowalski replied.
"What's next," I said.
"The Daleks will no doubt exterminate us at some point," Kowalski replied.
"True," Rico said.
"Great so we're dead now," Classified said.
"What's the plan?" I said.
"The Daleks confiscated all the weapons we usually use against them The Dalek class-weapons, The Lavathrower, and The Ion Cannon," Kowalski said, "No doubt destroying them as we speak. But they were kind enough to leave us the weapons that have no effect on them."
"And with our remaining Dalek-Busters on Earth..." Kowalski said, "our best bet is to wait and follow the Daleks until a opportunity arises..."
"And then we strike," Classified said.
"We do have the Cyber-gun, Cyber-bomb, and Cyber-grenades but those are only effective on Cyber-men."
"We have The EMP Cannon still as well but they took the Nanite Crusher Attachment," Kowalski added, "The Plasma Blaster which is useless on Daleks, Rocket Launcher but the effectiveness against Daleks is low, and the Flamethrower is not even worth mentioning. The Proton Bazooka is a unknown as not even the Daleks know what to think of it."
"And I doubt The Lighting Blaster would do us any good," Kowalski added.
"Conventional explosives won't work," I said, "Rico do we have any anti-tank missiles?"
Rico shock his head no, "You had duct tape, a Nuke, and even a rare subatomic particle...but you don't have anti-tank missiles in there?"
"Nope," Rico said.
"I find that hard to believe," I said.
Rico then hacked up the Dalek-slayer which was still somehow still with us, "Put that away before the Daleks come back!" I hissed.
"At least we have that ace up our sleeves," Classified said.
"But they don't have sleeves," Corporal said but he was ignored.
"What we need is to find out where Private is," Kowalski said as Rico complied.
"What would we even start with that?" I said.
"He could be anywhere," Eva said.
"Locating Private is our best shot," Kowalski said, "We need to find where their keeping him!"
Suddenly the cell doors slid open, "That is none of your concern," The guard Dalek replied, "A Dalek Shuttle has been prepped...We will depart presently..."
"Depart...where..." I said.
"Skaro," the Dalek replied as we were escorted out.
"Great," Classified said as we were escorted around the corner.
We pass an incinerator as the Daleks dumped our Anti-dalek Weapons into it. We were then quickly rushed into the Dalek's cargo bay where a small Dalek Saucer was waiting. Daleks bustled around the cargo bay stopping occasionally to glare at us. A crane moved along above us on a track carrying a Dalek Patrol craft back to it's storage area. A small one-dalek scout craft is also moved past above us as Daleks whiz around in the vast space above us. A hovering cart escorted by several Daleks held the 'Cyber-master' we defeated earlier and the broken form of Ultima Pentron.
The Dalek behind us shoved us all into the Dalek Shuttle with it's suction cup. The hatch on the craft sealed shut and the ship flew out of the cargo bay. The Dalek Shuttle then sped away from the fleet and from Earth. It then jumped to the other side of the galaxy and Skaro... home-world of the Daleks.
The ship entered the invisibility shield guarding the planet and disappeared. It landed in the middle of the vast wasteland next to the ruins of a Dalek city. The Ship is then lowered into the ground on a platform as a hatch disguised as a rock slid close. The Platform arrives at a vast subterranean chamber filled with Dalek Saucers of all sizes. Daleks on hover platforms and Daleks with their own hover ability observed the new arrival from above. Daleks of all designs and colors rushed about either watching over everything or doing maintenance on the ships and various pieces of equipment and weapons.
The doors on our saucer opened and a ramp descends. Two guard daleks escort us off the ship other daleks quickly joining our escort. A impromptu 'arena' was sit up in a corner of the subterranean chamber. And in the center of the arena inside the energy field of a "holding cell" was Private.
"Well now we know where Private is," I said.
"You will be silent!" one of the escorting daleks said.
