A few hours later, the WOOHP sub had reached the Arctic waters and was cruising past the colossal icebergs. Inside, Sam was at the controls, carefully steering the submarine, while Clover peered through the periscope for any sign of unusual activity. The Doctor, meanwhile, was going over the maps and charts of the region with Alex, trying to establish the exact location of the eye of the storm.

"Hmm, it looks like Jerry's intel was right," said the Doctor. "That storm seems to be being generated from something about 20 miles from where 'BRAVO' is based."

"So you don't think it's just a freak act of nature?" asked Alex.

"Probably not," replied the Doctor thoughtfully. "I modified the sub scanners to give me an analysis of the storm clouds and the readings indicate that some form of energy is manipulating the aerosol particles. Could be the work of an atmospheric manipulator."

"An Atmo-What?" Alex asked again in confusion.

"A weather controlling machine," huffed the Doctor irritably.

"Well, we'll soon know for sure," said Sam. "We're nearing the coordinates now. Any sign of little green men or anything, Clover?"

"Uh-uh!" said Clover, shaking her head as she looked at the view through the periscope. "All I'm seeing is ice, ice and... Oh look! More ice!" She gave an exasperated sigh. "Maybe Jerry made a mistake about the bad guys being here. The whole place is deserted!"

Wrong, as it turned out. Dead wrong.

Inside the Dalek spaceship, the automatic detectors registered the approaching WOOHP sub at once and the Dalek manning the scanner controls reacted immediately.

"ALERT! ALERT! ENEMY VESSEL APPROACHING!" it screeched urgently. The Red Dalek glided across to the scanners immediately and observed the sub on the radar screen.

"LAUNCH MISSILES!" it ordered. "THE HUMANS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO INTERFERE WITH OUR PLANS. THE VESSEL MUST BE TOTALLY DESTROYED! EXTERMINATE THEM! EXTERMINATE!"

"Err guys," said Clover, a look of worry crossing her face as she peered through the periscope. "There's something glittering in the sky and it's coming straight this way!"
