The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

Under the Sea Pt. 7

Digging around Rupert Malone's office further, Theodore and Lila learnt he was aware of the growing disposition against him when word broke of what happened to Kenna.

People began questioning his control over Sanctuary, growing restless at the stringent rules that he placed on them, with what happened to Kenna being the one that broke the camel's back.

If not for him genuinely concerned about the servants hurting people, Theodore and Lila would've believed that he was responsible for what happened to everyone else during the Christmas party.

It took enough adventures for them to see how scared he was, not letting them on the second floor, not letting them in his office, showing regrets for approving them in the first place, the delicate mind of a flawed man trying his damndest.

What became of him, they don't know, but doubt he's alive at this point, if he'd gone down to the Ward.

Nothing else for them to search, the two planned on leaving the office, and finding their way into the Wards.

It wouldn't be an adventure with Daleks if they didn't go looking for them, would it?

"Of all things, they used Daleks for servitude, what idiot came up with that idea?" Lila grimaced as she looked towards Theodore with concern in her chestnut eyes.

Daleks weren't their favorites and for good reason. Whenever they encountered them, all bets are off trying to survive.

Here, someone willingly used them as servants until they lost control and the Daleks rebelled against Richard Simms and everyone in Sanctuary.

The fact someone got their hands on Daleks, without dying horribly in the process, used whatever to control them, and the fact the plan worked at all, it's the stupidest thing Lila heard!

"Nobody could've controlled them, even my father couldn't, and he rewired their chassis more than once!" Theodore sucked air through his teeth as he stated that it's improbable that a human could've controlled Daleks.

His own father couldn't, even with his Sonic Screwdriver!

While Daleks weren't known for diplomacy, they made up for with their inhuman treatment of others, stealing and pillaging, using stolen technology for their own uses.

Upgrading their chassis, protecting them against their abundance of enemies, they've got countermeasures against tampering, believe him, his late father did everything he could against them, but even that wasn't always enough.

Like Cybermen, their second hated enemy, they upgrade with their stolen technology, due to the numerous encounters with the Doctor that they're always ready whenever he's afoot, they're wise to his antics by this point.

That's why it's usually better just destroying them with whatever's available, they can't be dealt with as easily as they were when they first started out.

This is just destroying them, capturing's a different story, the fact someone captured them alive, that wasn't alien, or had backing from UNIT, it's insane thinking about it, and Theodore's saying it!

"What do you think?" Lila asks Theodore's opinions on dealing with the Daleks this time around and he suggested that they'd check for survivors, see if Kershaw's what he is, and if he is, get him and the rest out of Sanctuary.

Implode it into the seabed, let the weight of the water destroy the nasty buggers like empty cans.

Nodding, Lila joined his side as they're ready to look for an access into the Ward when, as they should've known by now that nothing's as easy it looked, they started hearing a low groaning noise coming from somewhere.
