Who Was There
Characters present in this moment
Focused and determined to turn the tide
Codal reacts with split-second tactical precision, hurling the Spiridon native fur cloak over the Dalek’s sensor lid in one fluid motion to blind it. His hesitation from earlier crises melts into decisive action as he commits fully to disabling the machine through unconventional means.
- • Neutralize the Dalek scout’s vision to protect Jo and the group
- • Contribute meaningfully to the resistance’s fight
- • Direct combat with Daleks is risky but necessary
- • Improvised tools can neutralize advanced technology
Cold and focused, driven by necessity
Latep moves with brutal efficiency, wielding a fist-sized rock to shatter the Dalek’s weapon arm in two crushing impacts. His physical strength and willingness to strike mark a clear escalation in the team’s willingness to fight dirty against their relentless enemy.
- • Disable the Dalek’s offensive capability immediately
- • Protect the group by eliminating immediate threats
- • Daleks must be damaged first and asked questions never
- • Every action must prioritize survival of the group
Terrified and paralyzed by fear
Jo crouches paralyzed by terror as the Dalek’s amplified voice orders her destruction, nearly collapsing under the machine’s overwhelming presence before ducking behind cover. Despite her exhaustion and fear, she remains motionless and hidden, her survival instinct frozen until Codal and Latep intervene.
- • Evade detection by the Dalek scout
- • Stay alive long enough for rescue or escape
- • Daleks cannot be reasoned with
- • Any sudden movement will trigger extermination
Panicked and enraged at its inability to exterminate
The Controller Dalek scout lumbers into view with its sensor array scanning, its metallic voice booming insults and threats before it reacts with escalating distress as its vision is occluded and its weapon arm is destroyed. It thrashes blindly, emitting electronic shrieks that fill the plain and expose its vulnerability.
- • Reassert dominance over the intruders
- • My sensors define my power
- • Extermination is my sacred purpose
Objects Involved
Significant items in this scene
Latep seizes a fist-sized chunk of volcanic basalt freshly wrenched from the Plain’s surface and uses it as a crude bludgeon against the Dalek’s weapon housing. Two sharp impacts cave in the casing and silence its weapon systems, turning a natural rock into a precision tool of sabotage.
The thick pelt-like cloak is snatched from Codal’s grasp and flung over the Dalek’s sensor casing, smothering its optical systems and plunging it into sensory deprivation mid-hunt. The dense fur muffles the machine’s strident commands as it thrashes, turning its own mechanical voice into a muffled growl beneath the organic shroud.
