Object
Lesterson's Space Capsule (Dalek Power Supply)
Lesterson's bulky space capsule dominates his laboratory floor, its sealed hatch concealing Daleks, the colony's main power cable, and the Dalek power supply. Daleks glide inside to discuss static power circuits, their voices carrying out. Lesterson cuts power to it, then seals and barricades the door, but a Dalek emerges glowing independently. The Doctor and Valmar target the power supply and cable within for sabotage, deeming direct access impossible without diversion. Valmar inspects the capsule later for explosion damage amid crippled colony systems. The Dalek power supply, hidden inside the capsule, serves as the linchpin for the Doctor's sabotage plan to disrupt Dalek operations.

Significance
Drives sabotage plans as the Daleks' operational hub; their exit despite sealing and power cuts proves autonomy, dooms Lesterson's control, and accelerates extermination threat while explosion cripples colony power.
