Chen’s Faustian Bargain with the Daleks

Chen uses the Dalek scanner to survey the desert terrain, pinpointing the Doctor’s TARDIS near the Great Pyramid. The scanner’s visual feed confirms the TARDIS’s location, which the Red Dalek acknowledges as correct. This object serves as a critical tool for surveillance, enabling Chen and the Daleks to track their target with precision. Its use underscores the Daleks’ technological superiority and their ability to monitor the Doctor’s movements, raising the stakes for the Doctor’s survival.
