A new chapter in Dalek history begins. Following the Monstron attack, the Daleks have rebuilt their city with new defenses to warn them on any future invasion. With the threat of the rust plague and the Monstrons over, the Dalek Emperor orders the Daleks to resume their conquest of other planets with the next target being Oric as it contains valuable minerals. As it is further away than Alvega or Solturis, the Daleks are building a refuelling station when one of the Daleks comes under attack from a cloud in space. It goes insane and starts seeing other Daleks as its enemies and begins killing other Daleks. Watching from a cloaked spaceship, a Mechanoid reports to its leader Menoid that their 'suspicion' ray is successful and they wait for a rebellion among the Daleks to begin.
