Davros' Final Betrayal: The Daleks Are Born

The genetically conditioned creatures, twenty in total, are the raw material for Davros’ Dalek army. Despite their instability and erratic behavior, Davros orders their immediate integration into the Dalek casings, dismissing Nyder’s warnings. These creatures, once mere experiments, now become the core troops in Davros’ battle for survival, their transformation marking the birth of the Daleks and the beginning of their genocidal mission.

Before: Confined in holding areas, genetically unstable and erratic, awaiting further experimentation.

After: Forcibly integrated into the Dalek casings, now the first Daleks, their instability suppressed by Davros’ control programme.

Davros’ Final Betrayal: The Council’s Illusion and the Daleks’ Genesis

The genetically conditioned creatures, grotesque and unstable, are the raw material for Davros’ Dalek army. During this event, they are the subject of Davros’ unilateral order to be installed immediately into the Dalek casings, despite Nyder’s objections about their volatility. Their transformation into the first Daleks is rushed and untested, a testament to Davros’ desperation and ruthlessness. These creatures, once mere experiments, now become the vanguard of his genocidal vision, stripped of autonomy by his pre-programmed computer override.

Before: Confined in holding cells or experimental chambers, the creatures are erratic and unstable, their genetic conditioning incomplete. They are a liability as much as a potential asset, and their volatility is a point of contention between Davros and Nyder.

After: Installed into the Dalek casings, the creatures are now the first operational Daleks. Their instability is suppressed by Davros’ computer override, and they stand as the first soldiers in his army, ready to carry out his orders without question or remorse.
