Daleks finalize Kembel invasion timeline

The Daleks' course for Kembel is the linchpin of this event, a digital and temporal trajectory that represents both the Daleks' strategic genius and their genocidal intent. During this exchange, the course is not just a set of coordinates but a declaration of war—a finalized plan that the Daleks treat as an unassailable fact. Its confirmation by DALEK 1 and the subsequent order to dematerialize transform it from a theoretical destination into an active, impending reality. The course is the narrative and mechanical trigger that propels the Daleks toward their next act of destruction, forcing the Doctor into a race against an increasingly slim window of opportunity.

Before: Computed and displayed on the Dalek time machine's console, representing the finalized invasion trajectory to Kembel. The course is locked in, awaiting only the final command to execute.
After: The course remains locked and active, now fully integrated into the Dalek time machine's departure sequence. The confirmation of preparations signals that the course is no longer a plan but an actionable command, with dematerialization imminent.
