Object

Neutronic Randomiser

Dalek control room device that remotely seizes and overrides spacecraft navigation systems, forcing uncontrolled trajectories toward predetermined destinations. Activated by the Black Dalek to divert the Spar ship into a crash landing on Desperus, overriding extermination protocols to capture the taranium core and crew alive. Operates undetected within target vessels, resisting manual override attempts (e.g., Bret Vyon’s efforts) and triggering violent, uncontrollable spirals. Transforms stolen escape craft into plummeting prison shuttles, demonstrating Dalek precision in live-capture operations.
