Davros commands Kara and the Daleks pursue intruders

Davros shifts from his experiments to immediate control, weaponizing every available asset on Necros. His commands radiate outward to Takis for logistical precision and Tasambeker to bolster his inner circle, but his ice-cold focus remains on the Doctor and Peri. The Daleks’ instant obedience underscores the absolute hierarchy he has established, turning Necros’ twisted research into a hunting ground where no intruder can evade capture. Kara’s summoning forges another alliance in his manipulative web, binding her economic power to his ruthless chase. key_dialogue: [ DAVROS: Get me Kara, and find Tasambeker. DALEK: I obey. DAVROS: I want the intruders caught. ]

Pragmatically neutral, feigning indifference while internally assessing shifting power dynamics
