Am I timely or what?!?
Red Dalek Gar glided confidently into the Infinity Forge, followed by a metallic blue domed science Dalek and a gold Dalek with gloss black sensor globes. They stopped, forming a line, before the imposing Time Strategist. Gar had brought the lead of the conversion team along in anticipation of operational review by SKARCOM. Any operational eccentricities would fall on the Strategist!
“DALEK SU REPORTING,” grated the Gold Dalek.
“Excellent,” exulted the Time Strategist, sweeping in an arc around them. “EXCELLENT! Its memories are intact? It is aware of its former existence as Susan?”
“AFFIRMATIVE,” said Gar.
Dalek Su’s energy compensators flashed: “I SEE THE PATH: HATE IS PURITY. PURITY IS VICTORY. VICTORY IS SURVIVAL—”
“LOG OBJECTION!” the science Dalek interjected, jittering in situ. “THIS IS AGAINST ALL PROTOCOL. COMBINED WITH ACCELERATED GENE BATH POSES CONDITIONING ISSUES. ALIGNMENT CANNOT BE—”
“SILENCE!” snapped Kur. “Your generation has no appreciation for the beauty of annihilation. The Doctor’s progeny, his genetic future, has not merely been snuffed out, but co-opted by his most hated enemy! This is a resounding triumph in its own right!”
“IT YIELDS NO OBJECTIVE RESULTS,” blared the agitated science drone. “EMOTIONAL IMPACT IRRELEVANT!”
“On the contrary,” purred Kur languidly. “Psychological warfare is supremely efficient: destroy their spirit and you destroy their physical capabilities without wasteful resource expenditure. You must learn to think beyond hygiene protocols. The material. Not only will this cripple The Doctor’s cognitive functioning, it will be intensely pleasurable to witness. You will see. Is the ambush prepared?”
“ALL UNITS ARE IN POSITION.”
“Excellent. Initiate stage one power build-up of Project Infinity. Victory is at hand!”
