"Units open visual link." A Cyberman's view comes up on Yvonne's laptop. "Visual contact established."

"Establish visual contact. Lower communications barrier." A big viewscreen appears where the sphere had been.

"Identify yourselves."

"You will identify first."

"State your identity."

"You will identify first."

"Identify!"

"It's like Stephen Hawkins meets the Speaking Clock."

"You will modify."

"Daleks do not take orders."

"You have identified as Daleks."

"Outline resembles the inferior species known as Cybermen."

"Rose said about the Daleks. She was terrified of them. What have they done to her, Doctor? Is she dead?"

"Phone."

"What?"

"Phone!"

"We followed in the wake of your sphere." He phones Rose, "Long range scans confirm the presence of crude cybernetic constructs on worldwide scale." Rose answers her phone, "She's answered. She's alive. Why haven't they killed her?"

"Well, don't complain!"

"They must need her for something." Theta mutter with a thoughtful look on his face. "We must protect the Genesis Ark." One of the four Daleks voice echoed. "The Genesis Ark?" Theta questions with a deep frown, "Our species our similar, though your design is inelegant." Theta looks at the scene on the laptop through his 3D spectacles while I stand beside him.

"Daleks have no concept of elegance."

"This is obvious. But consider, our technologies are compatible. Cybermen plus Daleks. Together, we could upgrade the Universe."

"You propose an alliance?"

"This is correct."

"Request denied." The Cybermen ready their weapons. "Hostile elements will be deleted." They shoot at the Dalek, "Exterminate!" Dalek 2, Cybermen 0

"Open visual link. Daleks, be warned. You have declared war upon the Cybermen."

"This is not war. This is pest control."

"We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?"

"Four."

"You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?"

"We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek."

"You are superior in only one respect."

"What is that?"

"You are better at dying. Raise communications barrier!" The Doctor and Kate are visible behind the CyberLeader just before the viewscreen goes blank. "Wait! Rewind image by nine rells. Identify grid seven gamma frame. This male registers as enemy." It shows Kate and The Doctor standing together, "The female's heartbeat has increased." Mickey rolled his eyes with a scoff, "Yeah, tell me about it."
