WE ARE THE DALEKS! WE ARE YOUR MASTERS! THE DALEKS WILL EXTERMINATE ANY OPPOSITION! ASK WHATEVER QUESTIONS YOU LIKE BUT BE WARNED THAT ANY RESISTANCE WILL RESULT IN EXTERMINATION! (Note: Legomancer here. I personally am not a Dalek, but there’s one in the room here who will be answering the questions, and I’m typing this for him since my keyboard isn’t Dalek-compatable.) ---
