Who Was There
Characters present in this moment
Deep unease masked by controlled skepticism, reflecting the weight of the threat Davros poses to the cosmos
Appears on a screen from a distant location, his expression unreadable beneath the brim of his hat but his tone dripping with skepticism. He listens intently, fully aware of the destructive potential of the Hand of Omega and the horror Davros intends to unleash.
- • To prevent Davros from activating the Hand of Omega and unleashing total destruction
- • To psychologically undermine Davros’s confidence in his own plan through measured disbelief
- • Davros’s hubris will ultimately lead to his downfall, but not before inflicting catastrophic harm
- • The Time Lords, though flawed, are integral to the balance of the universe and must not be erased
Calcified hubris masking underlying desperation to prove his supremacy and avert any challenge to his authority
Seated at a workstation in Davros’ laboratory, his mechanized form rigid and commanding as he manipulates the Hand of Omega. His voice is a distorted growl, laced with arrogant certainty and godlike delusions of control over time itself.
- • To demonstrate his capability with the Hand of Omega and establish his absolute control over the Dalek agenda
- • To intimidate the Doctor and assert the Daleks’ inevitable victory over the Time Lords
- • The Time Lords are a weak and decadent force undeserving of survival, ripe for annihilation
- • His mastery of temporal technology elevates him to a godlike status among the Daleks

The Hand of Omega is held aloft by Davros as he claims mastery over its temporal power. Its angular casing pulses with latent golden energy, a weapon disguised as a funeral casket that Davros intends to use to rewrite the fate of civilizations including Gallifrey and the Time Lords.
Skaro’s sun looms symbolically as Davros describes its impending transformation into a controllable supernova, emphasizing the weapon’s cosmic scale. Its golden disc frames the scene visually, now exposed as a potential engine of уничтожение rather than a stable star.

Places and their significance in this event
The Dalek Mothership functions as Davros’s confined command space, where he orchestrates his genocidal scheme. The narrow confines and sterile technology amplify the menace of his words and the Hand’s temporal energy, providing the perfect theater for his announcement of total conquest.
Organizations Involved
Institutional presence and influence
The High Council of Time Lords is invoked as a target by Davros, whose plan explicitly aims to exterminate Gallifrey and its ruling body. The Doctor acts as a de facto representative, resisting this existential threat and embodying the Council’s perceived legitimacy and necessity.
The Renegade Dalek Faction operates through Davros, who asserts control over the Hand of Omega for his own genocidal ends. His actions are framed as a challenge to Time Lord authority and an assertion of Dalek supremacy, reflecting the faction’s disregard for hierarchical Dalek dogma.
