Dalek systems collapse in chain reaction

Thick smoke floods the colony corridors as Dalek units explode in rapid succession, triggered by the Doctor’s energy surge. The smoke obscures visibility, intensifying the chaos and forcing the colonists to confront the Daleks’ hidden weaknesses. It serves as a physical manifestation of the Daleks’ unraveling control, choking the air and symbolizing the collapse of their extermination protocol. The smoke’s acrid presence underscores the urgency of the moment, as the colonists realize the Daleks are no longer in control.
