Davros’ Dalek Project is the central conflict of this confrontation, symbolized by the ultimatum itself. The Elite Scientific Corps and military delegation demand its immediate cessation, framing it as a perversion of its original purpose. Davros, however, views it as the culmination of his life’s work and the key to Kaled dominance. The project’s existence is both the cause and the stakes of the confrontation: if the rebellion wins, the Daleks are destroyed; if Davros prevails, they become the unstoppable force he envisions. The laboratory itself is the nerve center of the project, making it the battleground where its fate is decided. The ultimatum is not just about power—it is about the soul of the Dalek project: **will it be a tool of evolution, or a weapon of annihilation?
**Through the Dalek prototypes (off-screen) and Davros’ defiant stance**. The **project’s influence** is **felt in every word**, as the **delegation’s moral objections** clash with **Davros’ unchecked ambition**. The **laboratory’s equipment** (consoles, incubators) **symbolizes the project’s **scientific and ethical dilemmas**.
**At a breaking point**: the **rebellion seeks to **destroy the project**, while **Davros is willing to **defend it at any cost**. The **project’s fate hinges on this moment**—if Davros **stalls successfully**, he **gains time to activate countermeasures**; if the rebellion **acts decisively**, they **can shut it down before it’s too late**.
The **Dalek Project’s survival or destruction** will **define the future of Kaled society**. If it **continues**, the Daleks will **become an unstoppable force**, **erasing all opposition**—including the rebellion. If it is **halted**, the Kaleds may **reclaim their morality**, but they **risk losing the war against the Thals**. The **project is the **crossroads** of this civilization’s fate.
**Fractured between those who see the Daleks as **salvation** (Davros, Nyder) and those who view them as **damnation** (Gharman, the Elite Scientific Corps). The **project’s scientists** are **divided**: some **believe in its necessity**, while others **regret their complicity**. The **military’s defection** **exposes the project’s instability**, as **loyalty shifts from Davros to the rebellion**.
Davros’s Dalek Project is the silent but looming presence in this confrontation, its existence the catalyst for the rebellion’s ultimatum. The project’s unethical genetic edits and the prototypes’ conditioning are at the heart of Gharman’s moral objections, making the Daleks themselves the ultimate stake in this power struggle. Davros’s tapping of the console foreshadows the project’s survival, as his hidden countermeasures ensure its continuation despite the rebellion’s demands. The organization’s influence is felt through the tension it creates, as well as the physical threat posed by the Dalek prototypes.
