The Only Good Dalek: A Tale of Betrayal, Sacrifice, and Redemption

Top-secret Station 7 is where the Earth Forces send all the equipment captured in their unceasing war against the Daleks. It's where Dalek technology is analysed and examined. It's where the Doctor and Amy have just arrived. But somehow the Daleks have found out about Station 7 - and there's something there that they want back.With the Doctor increasingly worried about the direction the Station's research is taking, the commander of Station 7 knows he has only one possible, desperate, defence. Because the last terrible secret of Station 7 is that they don't only store captured Dalek technology. It's also a prison. And the only thing that might stop a Dalek is another Dalek.

They are introduced to Commander Tranter, who tells them about Station 7, Earth's best-kept secret and what they believe can bring them victory over the Daleks. He gives them a quick tour and explanation, showing them the petrified jungle with the Slyther and Varga plants, Robomen, Ogrons, Mechanoids, Dalek weaponry and Dalek scoutships. He also shows them "harmless" Dalek prisoners that have had their guns removed and only work on static electricity.

Meanwhile, Amy is interrogated aboard a Dalek ship about the Abomination. She believed the Doctor died in the descent, but is corrected by the Daleks. She knows nothing of the Abomination and is sent back to her cell where Jay is. Jay calls upon Dalek 3 they found on the station. It responds before the Daleks destroy Station 7 completely. A Dalek enters Amy and Jay's cell and the girls attack it. Its weapon is turned on Jay, and a Dalek gun is fired - but it is Dalek 3 destroying the Dalek guard. Dalek 3 instructs Amy and Jay to follow it to the hangar, where there is a scoutship. They escape the ship, but only because the Daleks allowed it to happen.

The base is powered by heat from the magma so no power can be detected. It turns out to be owned by Professor Weston. He has a Dalek mutant in a glass container and the processed natives are his work. He spies Amy and Jay with the Dalek and thinks them to be collaborators but is quickly corrected. They plan to attack the Dalek as soon as the trio arrives. Weston thinks he may have a use for the casing. The Doctor asks about the mutant which Weston claims he has successfully tamed. He claims it is "the only good Dalek" but Tranter claims it is "an abomination". The Dalek force on the planet is discovered as Amy, Jay and Dalek 3 arrive at the base. Weston sends his processed creatures to stop them and Tranter's agents also volunteer, if only to buy time. They are all killed very quickly.

The Daleks send a Slyther to attack the Doctor and the others but it is killed by their Dalek. Unfortunately, in doing so, the route is blocked. Weston knows of another way but bulkheads are required to be opened. Jay volunteers to return to the generator room and open them there. There she finds the lone Dalek mutant but realises it is the tame one and that Tranter put the original one back in its casing. At that moment, Tranter arrives and announced "Mission compromised. Exterminate!" and attacks Jay. She is rescued by the Doctor who distracts Tranter by disrupting his eye scope with his sonic screwdriver. The Doctor is then able to piece together the real story of Tranter. When he was captured on the front lines, the Daleks interrogated and implanted memories into him while programming him. He only believed he fought his way out of the ship but really he was set free along with other prisoners who had been programmed as Dalek agents along with him. He was programmed to take the job as Station 7's commander which is how the Daleks found it. The Doctor strikes Tranter, knocking his scope off and freeing him from Dalek control. The Daleks lose their signal connection with him and the Doctor destroys the device. They rush to warn Amy and Weston that the Dalek they are with is still evil. Tranter goes off to try and disable the reactor to save Weston's Dalek.

The only good Dalek is a dead Dalek. While there are more specific examples of Daleks turning on each other later on in this list, the fact is that the Daleks don't even get on within their own species. They're just that full of hate.

The Daleks have been prone to killing each other for a while now, and their creator, Davros, was partly responsible for this, creating a new line of Daleks that were loyal only to him. This led to many Dalek civil wars, with each faction determined to wipe the other out. Another excuse that the Daleks have given for exterminating their own kind is they were an inferior breed ("Victory Of The Daleks").

Human resistance forces have injured and captured the only good Dalek known to have ever existed, and are now in need of a Doctor with an eye for the most minute detail. Rescuing young soldier, Journey Blue, from the universe-subjugating lasers of the Daleks, The Twelfth Doctor is inexplicably drawn into the fight.

DOCTOR: The metal's just battle armour. The realDalek creature's inside. VAN STATTEN: What does it look like? DOCTOR: A nightmare. It's a mutation. The Dalek race was geneticallyengineered. Every single emotion was removed except hate. VAN STATTEN: Genetically engineered. By whom? DOCTOR: By a genius, Van Statten. By a man who was king of his ownlittle world. You'd like him. GODDARD: It's been on Earth for over fifty years. Sold at a privateauction, moving from one collection to another. Why would it be athreat now? DOCTOR: Because I'm here. How did it get to Earth? Does anyone know? GODDARD: The records say it came from the sky like a meteorite. It fellto Earth on the Ascension Islands. Burnt in its crater for three daysbefore anybody could get near it and all that time it was screaming. Itmust have gone insane. DOCTOR: It must have fallen through time. The only survivor. GODDARD: You talked about a war? DOCTOR: The Time War. The final battle between my people and the Dalekrace. VAN STATTEN: But you survived, too. DOCTOR: Not by choice. VAN STATTEN: This means that the Dalek isn't the only alien on Earth.Doctor, there's you. The only one of your kind in existence.

GODDARD: The cameras in the vault have gone down. DOCTOR: We've only got emergency power. It's eaten everything else.You've got to kill it now! GODDARD: All guards to converge in the Metaltron cage, immediately.

VAN STATTEN: Tell them to stop shooting at it. GODDARD: But it's killing them! VAN STATTEN: They're dispensable. That Dalek is unique. I don't want ascratch on its bodywork, do you hear me? Do you hear me? (The gunfire stops, but only because there is no one left to shoot.Goddard calls up a schematic of the base.) GODDARD: That's us, right below the surface. That's the cage, andthat's the Dalek. DOCTOR: This museum of yours. Have you got any alien weapons? GODDARD: Lots of them, but the trouble is the Dalek's between us andthem. VAN STATTEN: We've got to keep that thing alive. We could just seal theentire vault, trap it down there. DOCTOR: Leaving everyone trapped with it. Rose is down there. I won'tlet that happen. Have you got that? It's got to go through this area.What's that? GODDARD: Weapons testing. DOCTOR: Give guns to the technicians, the lawyers, anyone. Everyone.Only then have you got a chance of killing it.

VAN STATTEN: Perhaps it's time for a new strategy.Maybe we should consider abandoning this place. GODDARD: Except there's no power to the helipad, sir. We can't get out.DOCTOR: You said we could seal the vault. VAN STATTEN: It was designed to be a bunker in the event of nuclearwar. Steel bulkheads GODDARD: There's not enough power, those bulkheads are massive. DOCTOR: We've got emergency power. We can re-route that to the bulkheaddoors. GODDARD: We'd have to bypass the security codes. That would take acomputer genius. VAN STATTEN: Good thing you've got me, then. DOCTOR: You want to help? VAN STATTEN: I don't want to die, Doctor. Simple as that. And nobodyknows this software better than me. GODDARD: Sir. (The Dalek is back on the ground.) DALEK [on screen]: I shall speak only to the Doctor. DOCTOR: You're going to get rusty. DALEK [on screen]: I fed off the DNA of Rose Tyler. Extrapolating thebiomass of a time traveller regenerated me. DOCTOR: What's your next trick? DALEK [on screen]: I have been searching for the Daleks. DOCTOR: Yeah, I saw. Downloading the internet. What did you find?

DALEK [OC]: Exterminate! (Zap!) DOCTOR: I killed her. VAN STATTEN: I'm sorry. DOCTOR: I said I'd protect her. She was only here because of me, andyou're sorry? I could've killed that Dalek in its cell, but youstopped me. VAN STATTEN: It was the prize of my collection! DOCTOR: Your collection? But was it worth it? Worth all those men'sdeaths? Worth Rose? Let me tell you something, Van Statten. Mankindgoes into space to explore, to be part of something greater. VAN STATTEN: Exactly! I wanted to touch the stars! DOCTOR: You just want to drag the stars down and stick themunderground, underneath tons of sand and dirt, and label them. You'reabout as far from the stars as you can get. And you took her down withyou. She was nineteen years old. 2ff7e9595c
