Purple Vortex [II]

Evolution of the Daleks P3:

"There's no point in chromosomal grafting, it's too erratic. You need to split the genome and force the Dalek human sequence right into the cortex." The Doctor said as he and Galaxy were busy at work.

"We need more chromatin solution."

"The pig slaves have it."

Galaxy looked to see the pigmen carry in a large crate and saw Laszlo among them. "The pig slaves, what happened in this grand plan?" She asked Sec. "Nothing. They're just simple beasts. Their lifespan is limited. None survive beyond a few weeks. Power up the line feeds."

Galaxy went over to another part of the lab, close to where Laszlo was so the Daleks didn't question anything. "Laszlo, we can't undo what happened to you but I promise they won't do it to anyone else." She whispered and he looked at her. "Do you trust him?" He asked nodding distinctly to Sec.

"A part of me says no. But another part of me knows that it takes one man to change the course of history, they just need the right idea in the right place and time. I've got to believe that's possible." She told him. "Well, why not go with the other part?" He asked and she sighed sadly.

"That part was forced upon me once upon a time, and I don't like thinking about that part of me." She told him before smiling slightly and went back off to help the Doctor.

"The line feeds are ready."

"Then it's all systems go." The Doctor said.

"The solar flare is imminent. The radiation will reach Earth in a matter of minutes."

"We'll be ready." Galaxy said as the Doctor filled a large syringe with blue liquid then put it into a brass still. "That compound will allow the gene bonds to reconfigure in a brand-new pattern. Power up!" The Doctor said and a pigman threw one set of breakers while Laszlo threw the other.

"Start the line feeds."

The liquid went up plastic tubes and to all the bodies above them. "There goes the gene solution." The Doctor said.

"The life blood."

"What's that?" Galaxy asked as an alarm went off.

"What's happening? Is there a malfunction? Answer me!"

"No, no, no. The gene feed! They're overriding the gene feed!" The Doctor exclaimed as Galaxy worked on the controls. "Impossible. They cannot disobey orders."

"Galaxy will step away from the controls." A Dalek said pointing its blaster at Galaxy who backed away as she frowned at it and then she felt the Doctor move her so she was behind him.

"Stop! You will not fire."

"She and the Doctor are enemies of the Daleks."

"And so are you." The Daleks then pointed their blasters away from the Time Lords and at Sec.

"I am your commander. I am Dalek Sec."

"You have lost your authority."

"You are no longer a Dalek."

"What have you done to the gene feed?" The Doctor asked.

"The new bodies will be one hundred per cent Dalek."

"No. You can't do this!"

"Pig slaves, restrain Dalek Sec, Galaxy and the Doctor." Two pig slaves grabbed Sec while Lazslo grabbed the Doctor and Galaxy. "Release me. I created you. I am your master."
