Cold determination undergirded by unquestioning adherence to superior directives
The Dalek Supreme leads the grey Daleks in a coordinated assault, its voice a metallic rasp of absolute command. It oversees the extermination of white Dalek guards and enforces compliance from any remaining dissenters, including Takis. The Supreme’s mechanical precision is on full display as it crushes resistance and dictates the terms of engagement.

Disbelieving protest masking creeping fear as his earlier bargain dissolves into lethal chaos
Takis stands amidst the unfolding violence, his expression shifting from compliance to horror as grey Daleks cut down white Daleks without hesitation. He confronts the grey Daleks directly, pleading for restraint and invoking earlier assurances of no killing, but his objections are met with cold indifference.
- • Maintain personal safety by avoiding further conflict
- • Preserve the facade of order and moderation he previously negotiated
- • Authority must be obeyed to survive
- • Promises of restraint are valuable currency he can leverage
Panicked compliance masking futile resistance

- • Survive the transition in power
- • Delay destruction by appealing to malfunction protocols
- • Appeals to malfunction could preserve their existence
- • Authority must be acknowledged to survive
