Death In Winter
Part Two
The Doctor had just uttered a solitary word that shook him to his core: "Daleks". The name alone was enough to inspire terror and dread throughout the cosmos. From the planet Skaro, the Daleks were mutants bred for a single purpose: to destroy and conquer all other living things until all that remains is Dalek. Of course the Daleks (formerly called Kaleds) once looked very much like us before an evil scientist called Davros began experimenting on his own people turning them into things that know only hate...doomed to live within metal shells shouting at the outside cosmos.
The Doctor looked worried and scared.
"What could have done this to the Daleks?" Came the voice of Grant Markham as if from light-years away. The Doctor turned to Grant, fear etched in his face. "I honestly don't know Grant. But I fully intend to find out!"
The Doctor and Grant continue their search. Much of the building and been damaged but was navigatable. There were Dalek casings here and there in pieces. There were also beings who resembled potatoes.
"Ah Sontarans...poor things. I never thought I'd feel sorry for Sontarans." The Doctor mused. He turned to Grant, answering his unasked question. "Sontarans are a warlike race who live for battle and conquest...though not to the degree of the Daleks. They use breeding pools to reproduce...it means they're clones." He waved his hand in slight manner as he explained the last bit. "They have been at war with the Rutans for centuries…" Seeing the look on Grant's face, The Doctor quickly added "Don't ask."
The two found their way to a command centre of sorts. Grant manages to get a computer terminal working.
"Hey Doctor, take a look at this!" Grant called. The Doctor rushes over and says "Ah you got the terminal working...well done Grant!" With a grin.
The terminal information is patchy in places but the Doctor got the gist. "So something happened that cause the Daleks and Sontarans to combine their forces...that is very worrying Grant, very worrying indeed." The Doctor looks around, deep in thought. "What could have caused this level of destruction? This doesn't make any sense!"
Suddenly a weak shrill voice shrieked: "Doc-tor..,"
