Shrouded in darkness, Omega had already begun the process of draining power sources to stabilize itself, its order was to find and eradicate the Doctor, before the Doctor does the same to it, though the more Paul gave thought on the matter, he knew he had no other choice, he had to destroy it.
Alpha wanted him to not destroy Omega, out of worry there was a chance they could save it, but Paul warned it that it wasn't possible.
So long as it contains a nominal bit of Dalek within it, it'll be a threat to them, not to mention whatever the intruder did.
"You must tell me, Alpha, what are Omega's flaws," Paul insisted Alpha tell him everything about Omega.
Taylor sees hesitance in Alpha, she reaches up to touch its arm as she soothed it, telling it, "Listen to the Doctor, Alpha."
She knew it didn't want Omega destroyed, but even it knew how dangerous a robot with salvaged Dalek material can be, including itself.
Though she rewired it, it still had the Dalek pieces within it, just like Omega.
"It needs power," Alpha admitted.
Because of the damages incurred by the Daleks and the intruder, it had no choice but to sustain consistent power sources.
Didn't help with being compromised of different robots and Daleks, either so it's incapable of knowing just how much power it needed.
It could just incur too much and burn itself out, but this was Doctor Ivo's complex, his designs and the combined Daleks made Frankenstein's monster that has an insatiable thirst.
Already destroyed Beta-100, that it wouldn't hesitate to turn on Alpha, it doubted Omega would even be the same to Taylor.
"The TARDIS," Paul concludes how they can safely destroy Omega without too much effort.
A craft worthy of praise, the TARDIS's capable of producing enough energy to power planets over.
Even Omega couldn't handle the sudden rush of energy when it tried interfacing it.
Only a matter of getting back to the TARDIS.
"What… will become of me?" Alpha questioned if Paul would also destroy it.
Silent, Paul thought about it, he conferred with Taylor, who insisted that Alpha deserved a second chance, bringing up that it had plenty of time to burn her alive with its photon canon, but it didn't.
"Grace, we can't be sure," Paul brought up that with the Dalek pieces in Alpha, it's only a matter of time before they start working their way into the programming, again.
Frowning, Taylor insists, "If you can read my mind, again, maybe you can use your Sonic Screwdriver on it?"
If the power surge stopped the mental blockers, maybe it did the same for whatever prevented Paul from using his Sonic Screwdriver.
Chewing on his inner lip, Paul agreed to give Alpha the benefit of the doubt.
But he made it clear, the moment there's any indication that it felled to the Dalek programming…
"Doctor!" Taylor pinched his cheek as she narrowed her emerald eyes on him.
Wielding his Sonic Screwdriver, Paul tells Alpha to hold still, he will scan it, and the Sonic Screwdriver will tell him everything he needed to know.
And if he doesn't like the answers, no hard feelings, but he puts his and Taylor's safety above all else.
Mum almost blew her top when she heard about the adventure the other week and all that.
"I… understand…" Alpha resigned in the chance that Paul and Taylor abandon it because it's too inundated with the damned Dalek programming.
Pushing on the button, Paul expected a different outcome, but the room's encased in a blue hue as he held the Sonic Screwdriver over Alpha.
A low humming, the Sonic Screwdriver scanned every inch of Alpha, with the presets set.
Pulling back, Paul read the results.
"Count your blessings, Alpha, I don't know what to do with you, but we'll figure it out in time," Paul tells the robot the good news.
With effort from Taylor and Alpha's internal HUD, the Sonic Screwdriver found nothing indicating the chance of Alpha turning on them like Omega.
"Accepted. Thank you," Alpha gave thanks for Paul letting it come with them.
Pointing at it in the darkness, Paul warily reminded it, "I can annihilate a Dalek ship with only a quarter."
There were curious looks from Alpha, causing to echo a confused, "A… quarter…?"
Nodding, Paul explained, "It's a coin from the United States. Worth about one-fourth of a dollar."
Having an American mother helped Paul understand the concept and his grandfather gifted him a book with different quarters denoting every state in the union.
He even showed Paul the design based on the state that he and his side of the family came from, minted in 2002, complete with musical instruments.
Seeing the confusion in Alpha, Paul sighs as he summed with a weak shrug, "I used it to catch an exhaust fan on fire."
One thing led to another and one destroyed Dalek ship later.
Scorched to hell, but Paul kept it as a sort of lucky coin.
Besides, he didn't want to risk getting into trouble for intentionally destroying it.
That said, they spent enough time here, they needed to get moving, Omega can be anywhere, and if it's siphoning energy then it's only a matter of time before it picks up on the TARDIS.
Agreeing with this, Taylor went with him, and Alpha trailed behind.
The complex looked different in the darkness, emergency lights barely worked, just faint green lines in the walls.
Alpha took point as it said it can see in the darkness, since Paul didn't want the chances of Omega finding them too soon if he used his Sonic Screwdriver's light as guidance.
With Omega's power consumption, the air conduit stopped working, making them walk through the uncomfortable silence as they warily went around corners, nerves on edge, waiting for Omega to suddenly spring from the darkness.
Looking through his mind, Paul waited for that faint voice to shine through, seemingly when situations were tense, and he called out into the void, asking for its advice.
"Doctor… you mustn't… let it… out," the voice warned him that if Omega somehow escapes the complex, it will cause havoc trying to sustain itself on whatever energy sources it can find.
The voice went on to reveal that Omega can track them with the Sonic Screwdriver and Alpha, that if they go to the front doors, it will be there.
"What are we to do?" Paul inquired what the voice wanted him and the others to do if they couldn't simple walk out the front door back to the safety of the TARDIS.
"You… have to… lead it… to the centre… of the complex," the voice informed him.
At the centre of the complex, there's radioactive material, byproducts of what Doctor Ivo done in his complex, being processed before shipping out to be properly disposed.
If Omega falls into the radioactive material, its body cannot handle the sudden influx of energy that it will cease, become a bomb of its own making, as it were.
Of course, the problems in this arose that Paul and Taylor were not capable of handling the radioactive material, it was so strong that they will turn into glow sticks within moments of being in close proximity to it.
"It… knows… this…" the voice warns that Omega's aware of the radioactive material that it will suspect the trap if they tried luring it to the centre of the complex.
Furrowing his brow, Paul asks, "How are we supposed to lure it?"
He and Taylor jumped back with Alpha ready to open fire as a hidden doorway opened on its own, without anything or anyone behind it.
