Chapter 8

Secs thoughts on the war

Sec began to glide to the skaro strategy tower. He was surprised the emperor had obeyed them so easily. After all Arcainia was a human colony world, nothing to do with the time lords. But then again the cult had been formed for this purpose to imagine where dalek forces would be best deployed to kill.

Sec's eyepiece narrowed at that thought; after all did they really need to go round killing people. Sec knew that if any other dalek knew what he was thinking he would most probably be eradicated immediately so he kept these thoughts to himself.

Still he couldn't stop his mind nagging at him. When he had first been created he had discovered that he had a mind of his own even more than his fellow cult members, except for the red dalek , dalek Hel, there were 8 daleks in the cult, and though Hel was meant to be Sec's second in command they had an unspoken agreement that they both governed equally, another un-dalek like trait, but that was nothing, they felt… friendship towards each other, that would see them erased from the timeline.

Both he and Hel had had discussions on the daleks purpose of Supreme Being, and both had come to the conclusion that conquering worlds wasn't required for several reasons. For example when they had conquered the universe, what happened after that, as far as Sec could see nothing, they would just sort of moap about and not do anything anymore. Also if they were supreme beings then surely they didn't need to prove that by eradicating everything, presumably they should think that all other life forms should be beneath there notice.

Most importantly if they were the supreme beings then why was it that the Daleks had once had to call on the help of the time lords to help get them out of a time loop that they had been stupid enough to cause.

That was something which worried Sec because despite how much the emperor declared the daleks were superior it didn't alter the fact that the daleks had thrown themselves into a war which might see there extinction.

There was one more reason why he specifically did not want this war to take place, and it was something that he had discovered in one of the many attempted dalek invasions of Earth, the emotions guilt and pity.

He and Hel had entered a hospital behind a squad that had just exterminated everything in the building or that was what was thought but behind the reception desk they had heard whimpering.

Gliding to behind the desk they saw a woman with her child, who appeared very sick, the woman's eyes widened with fear.

"Please don't kill my son just me he's dieing anyway you'd just be wasting energy!"

Sec looked at Hel and he could tell that he was feeling the same things as him: guilt, sadness etc. This wasn't like killing someone with a gun or even someone who resisted, she was offering herself to try and preserve the life of her child. This was one act of death that neither would be held accountable for.

"What is wrong with that human? Answer!"

"He has Leukaemia."

Sec turned to Hel. "Cure the child."

Hel didn't question, in fact Sec suspected that had he not been ordered to he would have done it anyway.

The woman looked on with fascination and wonder as Hels plunger landed on the Childs face, through the plunger all damage that had been done to the child was undone.

The woman turned smiling tears in her eyes. "Thank you but why?"

Sec turned to look at her and with an incredibly soft tone for a dalek stated "Because it was right."

Many years had passed since that day and Hel and Sec had never spoken of it, but on that day Sec and Hel had made a promise that wherever they could without rousing suspicion on themselves that they would do as much good as possible and if even the faintest hope for the daleks redemption arose they would take it, even if it meant there own lives.

As it would later turn out for Sec it would be his .life, but for Hel with the help of others he would survive and change the daleks for the better though it would be to late for the Time lords and the original daleks.

Well there you have it I hope you liked it and if you didn't tell me anyway cheers.
