"These humans will become like me. Prepare them for hybridisation."

Galaxy and the Doctor sneaked away to where Astro was behind some equipment without being seen by the other Daleks and the pigmen.

"Leave me alone! Don't you dare!" Martha shouted as the pigmen grabbed her and the others and Happy Days are Here Again started playing.

"What is that sound?"

"Ah, well now, that would be us." The Doctor said as Galaxy put the radio down by a bunsen burner and they walked up to Sec with Astro. "Hello. Surprise. Boo. Et cetera."

"Doctor, Galaxy."

"Then enemies of the Daleks."

"Exterminate!"

"Wait!"

"A new form of Dalek. Fascinating and clever." Galaxy said as she eyed Sec.

"The Cult of Skaro escaped your slaughter."

"How did you end up in 1930?" The Doctor asked.

"Emergency temporal shift."

"That would've roasted your power cells, right? Four Daleks could have conquered the world but here you are, skulking away, hidden in the dark, conducting experiments all resulting in you." Galaxy said.

"I am Dalek in human form."

"What does it feel like? You can talk to us, Dalek Sec. It is Dalek Sec, isn't it? That's your name? You've got a name and a mind of your own. Tell me what you're thinking right now." The Doctor said.

"I...feel...humanity."

"Good."

"I...feel...everything we wanted from mankind, which is ambition, hatred, aggression, and war. Such...a genius for war."

"That's not what humanity means."

"I think it does. At heart, this species is so very...Dalek."

"Alright, so what have you achieved then? With this Final experiment, eh? Nothing! Because I can show you what you're missing with this thing. A simple little radio." The Doctor said.

"What is the purpose of that device?"

"It plays music. And with music you can dance, sing with it, fall in love with it. Unless you're a Dalek because then it's just noise." Galaxy said and aimed her sonic key at the radio, creating a piercing sound that hurt Sec, the Daleks and the pigmen.

"Run!" The Doctor shouted, the prisoners running off with him, Galaxy and Astro close behind. They ran through the sewers, Martha in the lead till they came to a cross. She stopped, unsure where to go when Astro ran past and led them toward where he and others came from earlier.

"Tallulah, come on." Galaxy urged when they passed the woman who was lost. "What's happened to Laszlo?" She asked but Galaxy just pulled her along.

"Come on! Everyone up! Come on!" The Doctor shouted and motioned everyone to climb the ladder.

They arrived in Hooverville and Galaxy and the Doctor went straight to Solomon to explain the situation to him.

"These Daleks, they sound like the stuff of nightmares. And they wanna breed?" Solomon asked as they were standing around the campfire. "They're splicing themselves into human bodies." Galaxy said as she stroked Astro's fur while sitting on a crate.
