Having forced a connection with the Dalek Supreme, Dalek Thorn and the men were allowed aboard the Dalek ship camouflaged far from Earth's satellites that would have spotted it on the scanners, from there Dalek soldiers corralled them, Dalek Omega nowhere among the soldiers, something that isn't surprising considering how precarious the situation is, and the way the soldiers reacted to Dalek Thorn's presence, the cult wasn't regarded well among Dalek Omega's cabal of Daleks.
Behind those blue-lit eye stocks the Dalek soldiers watched Dalek Thorn's every move as they walked through the only path available to them, there was something that almost reminiscent of contempt towards the Dalek that even dwarfed the presence of Cappy and Paul.
Shockingly, it wasn't their presence that made the Daleks irate, majority was Dalek Thorn's, and it baffled the men to the point Cappy whispered what the Cult of Thorn done to receive such hatred from its brethren.
While he was well-aware of the in-fighting that goes on with the Daleks, this was far beyond the standard in-fighting that he was familiar with when he was fighting them in the war.
"I haven't much luck there, whatever they did, it's a miracle they lasted this long," Paul grimaced as he followed Dalek Thorn and Cappy through the silver corridors as Daleks soldiers followed closely behind.
Given what abomination Dalek Thorn made with the unfortunate people that came across it while it was in hiding, it's probable that the cult got up to things that made the Dalek species treat them as aberrations.
Should be telling that even Daleks have some sort of limit to what they do, but that isn't saying much.
The Dalek soldiers demanded that Dalek Thorn turn over Cappy and Paul, but it refused, stating that they stay with it, and for the Dalek soldiers to take them directly to Dalek Omega.
"De-nied!" Dalek soldiers shrieked at Dalek Thorn's demands. "They. Are. To. Be. Impri-soned!"
Dalek Thorn balked at this as it insinuated, "Is. It. Af-raiiiid?"
It mocked Dalek Omega's fear, but the Dalek soldiers refused to allow it to meet with Dalek Omega, with or without the men, and that they were given orders to open fire on them if they failed to comply.
"You. Will. Ob-ey!" Paul heard the Dalek soldiers shriek at Dalek Thorn, much to its annoyance.
Dalek Thorn argues, "You. De-ny. My. Off-erring?"
It wanted to bring the men to be presented to Dalek Omega, that it was to be expected that Dalek Omega would want to see them in person.
"Why. Should. We. Trust. You?" One of the Dalek soldiers' balks at Dalek Thorn.
The Daleks weren't too trusting with it, but the Dalek wasn't deterred as it reminded them that it brought the most feared men that the Daleks have ever known as an offering.
"You. Come. To. Die?" The Dalek soldiers were not convinced as they warned Dalek Thorn that failure to follow their instructions would result in extermination.
Frustration in Dalek Thorn's robotic voice, it demanded to speak to Dalek Omega at once, and the Dalek soldiers told it that in time the Dalek Supreme will come speak with it.
Until then, it is to be held with the men in hexagon cells with pulsating energy keeping them from escaping or attempting one of their tricks.
"You. Will. Obey!" The Dalek soldiers demanded compliance with Dalek Thorn.
Speaking up, Paul tried to cut in on the conversation, wanting a word with Dalek Thorn.
The Dalek soldiers told him in unison, "Silence!"
However, Dalek Thorn counters, "My. Offe-ring. My. Con-ver-sation!"
Until the men were turned over to Dalek Omega, they're under Dalek Thorn's custody, still, thus it had a right to communicate with them.
"Speak!" Dalek Thorn demanded Paul to tell it quickly before the Dalek soldiers grew irate, again.
Clearing his throat, Paul knelt close to the Dalek as he reminded it that they're on Dalek Omega's ship, that if it wanted to speak to it in person, er, Dalek, it would have to play by the rules.
Considering its already lackluster reputation among its own, Dalek Thorn didn't have anything to fall on, and this forced the Dalek into finally complying with the Dalek soldiers as they forced it and the men into their prisons until Dalek Omega made its decision.
Which considering the state of Dalek politics, it would probably attempt to kill Dalek Thorn and take the men for its own purposes if not kill them, all.
Stuck in the hexagon prison with the cuffs tightly on their wrists connected to the brace around their necks that kept them from communicating due to the violent shocks emitting from the brace, the men were forced to watch as the Daleks moved around as they continued their duties.
Sitting on the ground, the men could barely move their necks to look at each other as they sat in their respected prisons.
Incapable of using telepathy, no way for them to remotely speak without shocks being sent to their throats, the men were forced into silence.
Dalek Thorn remained quiet in its spot after the Dalek soldiers forced it inside, its eye stock hardly moving.
One could only wonder what was going on inside its Dalek mind.
It remained that way for a while, until the Dalek soldiers circled the hexagon prisons with the appearance of a much larger Dalek.
"Da-lek. Tho-rn?" Dalek Omega called out to it in a low electronic voice.
As to show it's unafraid, Dalek Thorn defiantly responded, "Ali-ve!"
Moving its chassis, Dalek Omega sees Cappy and Paul and becomes startled at the sight of Cappy.
"How. Did. You. Capture. Him?" Dalek Omega demanded to know how Dalek Thorn captured the most feared man next to the Doctor and Dalek Thorn refused to give a response.
It instead insisted that it has the men as an offering to Dalek Omega, but the Dalek wasn't convinced that this was a simple tribute, as it demanded to know the details on how Dalek Thorn came to capture the most feared men in Dalek existence.
Dalek Thorn remained firm in its refusal to tell Dalek Omega, stating that it knows that it will just adapt the techniques into the cabal for its own sues.
Something that Dalek Omega didn't disagree, but it then went on to demand answers regarding the men as an offering to it.
