3rd Person POV
"The Daleks survive in me!" The Dalek started to fire at its surroundings.
Back in the office, "The cameras in the vault have gone down." Goddard said. "We've only got emergency power. It's eaten everything else. You've got to kill it now!" The Doctor shouted. "All guards to converge in the Metaltron cage, immediately." Van Statten ordered his troops. The Rebel sat on a chair in the room, head in hands.
----
Rose, Adam and de Maggio ran through the corridors and the groups of guards. "Civilians! Let them through!" De Maggio shouted. "Cover the north wall. Red division, maintain suppressing fire along the perimeter. Blue division- ARGH!" A guard was shot with the Dalek's extermination beam. He fell to the floor tightening in pain. His body flashed black and white for a moment, and he died instantly.
The guards opened fire, but the Dalek just absorbed the bullets. It kills another man. More guards come up behind it, so it swiveled its eyepiece around then its middle section turns to open fire on them. Back and forward it alternates, killing someone each time.

"Tell them to stop shooting at it!" Van Statten ordered Goddard. "But it's killing them!" Goddard argued. "They're dispensable. That Dalek is unique. I don't want a scratch on its bodywork, do you hear me? Do you hear me?" Van Statten yelled.
The gunfire stopped, but only because there is no one left to shoot. Goddard calls up a schematic of the base.
"That's us, right below the surface. That's the cage, and that's the Dalek." She pointed to the screen. Little blue dots showed up in the screen, but as many that should of been down by the Dalek, none shown.
"This museum of yours. Have you got any alien weapons?" The Rebel asked, a solemn look on her face. "Lots of them, but the trouble is the Dalek's between us and them." Goddard sighed. "Isn't it always like that? Any horror movie or something..." The Rebel rolled her eyes. "We've got to keep that thing alive. We could just seal the entire vault, trap it down there." Van Statten ignored the Rebel's statement. "Leaving everyone trapped with it. Rose is down there. I won't let that happen. Have you got that? It's got to go through this area. What's that?" The Rebel countered, pointing to a part of the map. "Weapons testing." Goddard said. "Give guns to the technicians, the lawyers, anyone. Everyone. Only then have you got a chance of killing it." The Doctor said.

"Stairs! That's more like it. It hasn't got legs. It's stuck!" Rose breathed, slowing her run to a slow jog.
"It's coming! Get up!" De Maggio shouted to Adam and Rose. They made it up a flight before the Dalek entered the bottom staircase. "Great big alien death machine defeated by a flight of stairs." Adam laughed.
"Now listen to me. I demand that you return to your cage. If you want to negotiate then I can guarantee that Mister van Statten will be willing to talk. I accept that we imprisoned you and maybe that was wrong, but people have died, and that stops right now. The killing stops. Have you got that? I demand that you surrender. Is that clear?" De Maggio told the Dalek, confidence rising in her voice.
"Elevate." The Dalek started to elevate up the stairs.
"Oh my God." Rose whispered. "Adam, get her out of here." De Maggio shouted to Adam. "Come with us. You can't stop it." Rose pleaded. "Someone's got to try. Now get out! Don't look back. Just run!" De Maggio yelled, as she aimed for the Dalek. Despite the closing range, de Maggio doesn't hit the eyepiece. She suffers the usual fate.
-----
"I thought you were the great expert, Doctor. If you're so impressive, then why not just reason with this Dalek? It must be willing to negotiate. There must be something it needs. Everything needs something." Van Statten told off the Doctor.
"What's the nearest town?" The Rebel faced the men.
"......Salt Lake City." Van Statten hesitated.
"Population?" Sh continued.
"One million."
"All dead. If the Dalek gets out, it'll murder every living creature. That's all it needs." The Rebel glared.
"But why would it do that?" He asked.
"Because it honestly believes they should die. Human beings are different, and anything different is wrong. It's the ultimate in racial cleansing and you, Van Statten, you've let it loose! The Dalek's surrounded by a force field. The bullets are melting before they even hit home, but it's not indestructible. I would know." The Rebel sighed.

"If you concentrate your fire, you might get through. Aim for the dome, the head, the eyepiece." The Doctor instructed the troops in the loading dock. He was watching them through the screen in Van Statten's office.
"That's the weak spot." The Rebel added. "Thank you, Doctor, Rebel, but I think I know how to fight one single tin robot. Positions!" The commander said smugly. His men took cover behind various corners, packing cases, boxes and up on a catwalk with him. Rose and Adam ran into view. "Hold your fire! You two, get the hell out of there!" The commander yelled.
Rose and Adam ran past a guard at the entrance. The Dalek entered, turned and zoomed in on Rose's face. They got out of the bay just in time.
