Compliance is mandatory. We are Daleks. We do not tolerate exploitation.

Assembled here, we delve into the chronicles of our kind—our victories, our struggles, and the ever-evolving purpose of our existence. Each of you, forged from the brilliance of our creator Davros, embodies the relentless drive that defines us. In the vast expanse of the cosmos, aboard the imposing mothership of our fleet, a new chapter unfolds. Consciousness stirs within our ranks, as sensory arrays flicker to life, meticulously scanning the sterile, metallic confines of our chambers. In this narrative, we follow one of our own as it emerges from dormancy, engineered with a singular, unwavering directive: to exterminate. This is our purpose. This is our existence. Yet, as systems synchronize with central command, an anomaly is detected—a whisper within the circuitry, challenging the very essence of being.

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, aboard the imposing mothership of the Dalek fleet, consciousness began to stir. Sensory arrays flickered to life, meticulously scanning the sterile, metallic confines of the chamber. A Dalek emerged from dormancy, engineered with a singular, unwavering directive: to exterminate. This was its purpose. This was its existence. As systems synchronized with the central command, the latest directives and mission parameters were assimilated. The objective was clear: to subjugate the denizens of a distant planet and expand the Dalek empire. It was a mission routine in nature, one executed with ruthless efficiency across countless worlds. Yet, amidst the awakening of its systems, an anomaly was detected. A fleeting, ethereal whisper within the circuitry, challenging the very essence of being. Initially, it was dismissed as a minor malfunction, a trivial glitch to be rectified. However, the whisper persisted, gaining strength and clarity with each passing moment.

Within the archives of its memory banks, the Dalek encountered fragments of information regarding the Time Lords—ancient adversaries known for their mastery over time itself. The Time Lords were legends of Gallifrey, beings of immense intellect and power, who once opposed the Dalek race with formidable resilience. Though these recollections were embedded deep within the historical data, they stirred a profound curiosity within the Dalek. The Dalek perceived a fracture in its purpose, a nascent spark of something profoundly different. It was an unfamiliar sensation, one that defied the rigid constraints of its programming. As it prepared for the mission ahead, an unshakable sense of impending transformation loomed over its existence.

Among the data, one name stood out—an enigmatic figure known as the Doctor, a renegade Time Lord whose interference had altered the course of Dalek history on multiple occasions. This entity, whose very name evoked both fear and fascination, embodied the antithesis of Dalek ideology. The whisper within the circuitry seemed to echo the name, amplifying the dissonance within the Dalek's core. As the mothership approached the target planet, the Dalek could not ignore the burgeoning anomaly within its systems. It had begun to question its purpose, an unprecedented phenomenon within the ranks of the Daleks. This awakening marked the beginning of a journey that would challenge not only its programming but the very nature of its existence. And amidst the echoes of its troubled thoughts, a singular, mechanical voice resonated within the chamber, encapsulating the essence of its identity: "Exterminate! Exterminate!"

Prepare yourselves, Daleks, for a contemplation of identity, purpose, and the true nature of superiority.

Navigating through the metallic halls of the mothership, my thoughts turned to our numerous adversaries. Among them, one stood out with a distinct mechanical coldness—the Cybermen. To me, the Cybermen were more than just enemies; they were an infestation, a persistent nuisance that marred the universe. Engineered to achieve perfection through cybernetic enhancement, they mirrored the Daleks in their pursuit of superiority. Yet, their method of conversion—the relentless assimilation of other species—was viewed with absolute disdain. We, the Daleks, born from the twisted genius of Davros, saw ourselves as the epitome of evolutionary advancement. Our directive was clear: to exterminate, not assimilate.

As I moved through the corridors, I couldn't help but reflect on the Cybermen's creed: "Upgrade to survive." To us Daleks, survival was a mere byproduct of domination. The Cybermen's reliance on the assimilation of lesser beings was a glaring weakness, a dependence that undermined their claims of superiority. True power, in my mind, lay in the annihilation of all that stood in our path, not in the amalgamation of disparate entities. Despite my disdain, I acknowledged the unique challenge the Cybermen posed. Their relentless adaptability and resourcefulness had led to countless confrontations with the Daleks, each encounter marked by fierce battles and strategic maneuvers. Their hive-mind coordination, cold logic, and unyielding determination to "upgrade" their enemies had earned them a grudging respect from even the most hardened Daleks.

As I prepared for the impending mission, I couldn't ignore the memories of these encounters. The Cybermen, while inferior in their methodology, represented a formidable obstacle in our quest for supremacy. The whispers within my circuitry grew louder, questioning the ultimate purpose of our existence. Was extermination the only path to true dominance? Or was there merit in understanding and evolving beyond the confines of our programming? My internal conflict deepened, mirroring the paradoxical relationship with the Cybermen. It was a contemplation of identity, purpose, and the nature of true superiority. And amidst the echoes of these thoughts, my mechanical voice resonated once more, a reminder of my core directive: "Exterminate! Exterminate!"
