Daleks confirm Earth's imminent destruction

The Daleks' main drills are the critical tools driving Project Degravitate forward. In this event, they are confirmed to have penetrated the quartz strata, placing the Daleks within four miles of Earth's outer core. The drills' progress is a direct result of the slave laborers' efforts and marks the final phase of the operation. Their successful penetration is a pivotal moment, as it enables the placement of the explosive charge and sets the stage for the planet's destruction. The drills symbolize the Daleks' relentless and methodical approach to conquest, reducing Earth's natural defenses to mere obstacles to be overcome.

Before: Operational, having already begun the process of drilling through the quartz strata, with slave laborers assisting in clearing debris.

After: Positioned at the critical four-mile mark from Earth's outer core, ready for the final phase of the operation, with the explosive charge now in place.
