3 Discovery in the Storeroom.
The Daleks drift around the area where the Doctor and Ommera are hiding. "I see them," Dalek Bej says. "Two of them! Come out now! Obey!" Dalek Bej fires a warning shot to show that they mean business.
"Intruder alert," the Daleks call other Daleks.
Six other Daleks arrive in the large storeroom. "You are powerless now. You are our prisoners."
"Take me to your leader," the Doctor says.
"You will come with us. She stays here." The Daleks rapidly split them up. They have the upper hand. Massive numbers, massive fire power, a no-nonsense approach, immediately performed.
Three Daleks take the Doctor off for interrogation. He looks back to say something to Ommera, but the Daleks don't permit anything.
The other Daleks trace the scent back to the Tardis. Then they take Ommera to the Tardis. There they start bullying her into opening the Tardis. She initially refuses, even risking being shot. It occurs to her that maybe the Daleks can't actually do anything except shoot. If she lies down they won't be able to raise her hand to open the Tardis door. She pretends to faint and falls gently to the floor.
One Dalek extends its sucker. Ommera is very scared then. Another starts a line of more gentle persuasion. But the sucker suddenly grabs her hand and slams it against the Tardis door. The door opens. The Daleks laugh. They start to enter the Tardis.
There is no sign of Crystelle. She is on the deck below the Tardis console.
Ommera gets up and goes in. "Daleks," she says to alert Crystelle.
Crystelle stops what she was doing and tenses. She recognises the need to stay silent and hidden.
The lead Dalek, Da, proclaims gleefully, "We have control of the Tardis. We have wanted this. Now we can rule the universe, everywhere and throughout all time! Exterminate everything! Daleks victorious!" It is so excited it reaches a gleeful shriek.
"How do you fly this?" Dalek Da asks. "Tell us how to fly this!" they demand.
Ommera can't fly the Tardis at all without Voice Control, but she isn't going to tell them about that! "I can't fly it," she says dryly.
"Who can? You got here somehow!" Dalek Da says. "You are the Doctor's companion. You must know how to fly this."
"Only the Doctor can fly it," Ommera says. This is certainly a tense situation. She is sweating.
"He won't fly it for us," Dalek Bej says. "But there is a manual here! We will do it ourselves."
They look at the manual, but it is only a maintenance manual and it is in a language they don't know. The Tardis certainly isn't going to translate for them!
"We must embed one of us into the Tardis to control it," Dalek Bej says. "Take us to the Dalek control systems."
"I've no idea where anything is," Ommera says. This is quite true. She has never looked into anything like that.
"We will find everything," Dalek Bej says.
Dalek Bej secures Ommera to the floor in the Tardis control room. "Now you can't meddle!" it says. "You will have your uses later when we use you as hostage so that the Doctor will reveal his plans."
The Daleks all go off to find out about the Tardis by looking along the corridors. "We must find somewhere to hold thousands of Daleks. Our travel time will be vastly reduced!"
Ommera calls out to Crystelle. "They've all gone. Can you untie me?"
Crystelle comes to Ommera and sees the bonding the Daleks have used.
"No," Crystelle says. "They've welded a metal braid to hold you there. That's mean! I'm really sorry, I can't."
"Could you press the Voice Control button on the Tardis console?" Ommera asks. "When you can – quick hide again, they're coming back."
Crystelle hides below deck again.
The Daleks go out of the Tardis leaving just one to guard it. Seeing everything is under control in the Tardis control room, it wanders off to look for the best place to be embedded.
Crystelle darts up to press the Voice Control button, then hides below deck again.
Soon there is a stream of Daleks coming in through the door and out down a corridor. The first Dalek directs them to a holding bay in the depths of the Tardis. Thousands of Daleks go through.
Then just two Daleks remain in the Tardis control room.
"We have no need of our spaceship now; far too slow compared to this!" Dalek Bej says. "Our spaceship is almost empty."
"We will go straight to Earth," Dalek Da says. "Then we will go straight to our extermination posts. One Dalek for each large city. Extermination should start immediately. Destroy everything. All will be destroyed before the Doctor can stop us!" They certainly mean business!
"He still hasn't revealed his plans?" Dalek Bej says.
"No. We will just complete the extermination," Dalek Da says. "Spare no one. Spare nothing."
No messing with these Daleks! Catastrophe will be total. The Daleks go off to organise their troops.
Is the fate of Earth sealed? Can Ommera and Crystelle find any way to stop these well organised and powerful Daleks? It does seem unlikely.
