"Well, well, well, this is one big ship!", mused the Master, checking the temporal engine plans.

The Master had recently been granted full authority of the most powerful Time Lord ship ever built. It was a multi-dimensional stellar fusion energized Time ship in the form of a Cross.

It had the potential of Infinity, once thought to be a mathematical impossibility. It was impervious to anything.

"WHAT IS NEWS OF THE TIME LORDS?"

"THERE HAS BEEN A GREAT TEMPORAL DISTURBANCE!"

"DESTROY IT!"

The Supreme Dalek had recognized the Cruciform at once. It was told in Skaro's legends that an ancient artifact would be unleashed against the races of Skaro. This curse, however, was lost to history. The Supreme Dalek also knew that to destroy something with the power of the Cruciform, it would be practically impossible. Practically, impossible.

It could still be destroyed if not fought on the standards of normal space-time. However, the Supreme Dalek did not want to destroy it. He wanted full control of it. The Dalek's shortage in ships would be benefited if the Dalek Empire gained control of a ship this powerful.

The Master put his feet on the main computer. He took out his laser screwdriver and picked his fingers and his toe nails.
It had been so long since he had ever had the luxury to do anything like this. In human terms, he was Rassilon's pet.

Rassilon, did not know that the Master had a fob watch, an 'emergency' DNA storage that could rewrite his DNA. It was useful if you wanted to escape undetected.

"Sir, the enemy has created formations not far from here; about 21-hundred light years away. There numbers total approximately 800 million mother ships, and around 5 billion smaller fighter pods.", warned the helsmaster.

The Master pulled his feet off the computer at once.

"What? What did you say? The Daleks have formulated attack squadrons?"

He pushed the panic button button under the controls.

"The Daleks are coming! Battle stations!"

It was, however, too late, as the Daleks had already used warp space engines and surrounded the Cruciform. The large computer display suddenly turned on.

"Sir, it is a transmission from the Supreme Dalek!"

"Alright. Transmit"

"SURRENDER YOUR FORCES NOW! WE HAVE SUPERIOR NUMERS AND CONCENTRATED FIRPOWER!"

"Never!"

The Master shot the computer display and it exploded in a flurry of sparks and flames.

"Battle stations!"
