Kaled Council approves Davros inquiry

The Kaled Councillors act as the ruling legislative body, convening in secret to debate science and war.

Ravon exposes Sarahs imprisonment to the Doctor and Harry

The Kaled Councillors, through Mogran, establish the procedural context that makes Ravon’s covert intelligence both necessary and urgent.
