4 Destruction of the Daleks.
Ommera instructs the Tardis to ignore any flight instruction from the Daleks. Grind only to pretend you are doing something. Instead, position the Tardis doors against the off-planet portal on planet Portintrade, when the Daleks will go out. She believes it to be a safe holding place for them.
The leading Daleks return to the Tardis Control room.
"The co-ordinates go in there. You must type them in," Dalek Da says.
Dalek Bej starts the painfully slow procedure of typing in using its sucker. A picture of planet Earth appears on the console monitor screen. Ommera sees it and fears that the Tardis can't use her instruction to override manual commands.
The Tardis grinds.
Dalek Da goes over to the Tardis door.
Ommera is gripped with fear. The Daleks fully expect this and ignore her. She feels she wants to distract them from their quarry.
"Stop it. Why would you exterminate so many people?" Ommera pleads. "Why do you exterminate anyone?"
"Silence," Dalek Bej says. "This is our aim. To exterminate all other lifeforms."
"What is your aim?" Ommera asks.
"Silence," Dalek Bej says.
"You can defeat the Doctor in so many ways, but you don't need to exterminate anyone," Ommera pleads.
"Silence," Dalek Bej says. "Open the doors."
Dalek Da uses its sucker to open the Tardis doors.
The sight that greets the Daleks, Ommera can't see. She is restrained on the floor with a great view of the ceiling. The Daleks block her view.
"It is safe to disembark," Dalek Da says. "Summon the troops!"
As the Daleks move away from the Tardis door, Ommera can see a snippet of the view through the Tardis door. Blue sky greets her eyes. That's something. It's a nice day out there⦠so far. She strains her body round to see a little more. Her restraint is hurting her. Green fields greet her eyes. Relief. It is the off-planet port.
Daleks start to trundle through the Tardis Control room. The Daleks have no idea how the Tardis door exit should look. They stream through the Control room and out of the Tardis door. Thousands of them.
After the mass exodus of the Dalek troops, only three Daleks are left in the Tardis Control room. "Soon we will exterminate the whole Earth," Dalek Da says gleefully. All that the Doctor defended will be destroyed!"
"Then we can go anywhere, to any time. We are victorious!" Dalek Bej asserts triumphantly.
"We need to bring the Tardis totally under our control," Dalek Da says. "One Dalek must be assigned to become embedded in the Tardis. Then we will be able to just think where we want to go, and we will be there!"
They turn to the third Dalek. "You are selected to be embedded in the Tardis." There is no choice about this. The three Daleks go off to do this.
Is the Tardis doomed to have Dalek control? Can Ommera and Crystelle do anything else?
