Davros ( audio story ) This story was among the ones advertised in " Davros with Big Finish " . Publisher ' s summary . TAI stock has shot up by over fifteen percent on news that galaxy - famous scientist Davros , controversial creator of the Dalek s , has been hired to work on unspecified technological projects . Davros has been given the chance to redeem himself . Humanity stands on the verge of a new era , but it needs the help of the galaxy ' s greatest ever scientist . But Davros is dead . . . isn ' t he ? From the bunkers and shelters of ancient Skaro to the gleaming domes of the future Earth Empire , Davros has always been a man of destiny . Now he ' s working for mankind ' s benefit . But how much do we really know about Davros ? Has Davros really turned over a new leaf ? The Doctor certainly doesn ' t think so . But is the Doctor always right ? Plot . Part one . " " When I press this switch , I will die . The poison in that projectile injector will kill me in a moment . " " Davros is about to die , forced to carry out his own execution . He , however , refuses to press the switch to do the deed , intending to create " the supreme power in the universe " . " " This is not the end ; this is only the beginning . . . " " Meanwhile , Davros ' body is found by Arnold and Lorraine Baynes . They steal the corpse with the chair , shooting their pilot in Davros ' place to trick the patrols . The advanced medical equipment available to them on the ship confirm that the Kaled is dead . They shouldn ' t give up , though ; Lorraine decides to bring him " back home " , where even better equipment can be found . All hope is not lost yet . Meanwhile , the Sixth Doctor arrives , having been called by a journalist named Willis . He and Kimberly Todd explain to the Doctor that TransAllied , Inc . — TAI — are planning to shut down every mining colony , a plan which would render 12 billion people out of jobs , devastating planets for generations . Kim works for the company ' s computer section , and has found secret files . All the mines are profitable . . . so why are TIA closing them down ? Against all evidence , Davros is alive . He recalls past events in his life : the Kaled Supreme informs Davros of the council of Elites ' decision that he must die for his deeds . None of them , though , can do it — " If Davros is to die , it must be by his own hand . " The Supreme hands him a projectile poison injector . A spaceship suddenly appears overhead , and the Doctor and company use this opportunity to escape into the TAI dome . Baynes — revealed to be the chief executive of TAI — and his wife exit the ship , and bring Davros with them . Davros , meanwhile , is still dreaming of his past . His larynx was damaged in an attack , and was replaced with a voice box . His skin is badly burnt ; even the most powerful sedatives can ' t help with the pain . Davros demands to see his face , and cries in terror and despair at the sight of it . Outside , the Doctor confronts Baynes about his harbouring Davros , " the most evil being this galaxy has created " . Even though Baynes assures the Doctor that the Kaled is dead , the Doctor is not convinced . He lets it slip that he " could " potentially revive Davros , and Baynes takes him to inspect the corpse . When there , though , Baynes ' wife Lorraine notices that Davros has brain activity . He has been in suspended animation . At the Doctor ' s voice , Davros awakes . The Doctor can ' t bring himself to flick the switch to kill him himself . He soon stabilises , laughing maniacally . The Doctor watches in horror as Arnold and Lorraine Baynes introduce themselves to the newly revived Davros , and offer him a job as head of TIA ' s R & D department . After being shown a commercial for the company — propaganda , in the words the Doctor — Davros agrees . " We have a deal . " The Doctor , though , desperate , offers a counter - offer : he will offer himself to do the same work . Davros assures the Baynes ' that the Doctor ' s intellect is very much equal to his own . But , with the Doctor threatening to return him to suspended animation , he accuses the Time Lord of being an obvious potential saboteur — he must be incarcerated . Baynes has a better idea . Both will work for him — together . The Doctor is woken up in the morning by a device placed in his inner ear during his sleep . He goes back to sleep , telling it to wake him up 5 minutes before the start of his work day . After having breakfast , he arrives in the lab , and purposely ruins two hours of Davros ' work . He turns the tables around , making Davros act as his assistant — even getting him to make him some tea . Meanwhile , Willis is conducting an interview with Baynes . After bringing up the mines , though , Baynes destroys his tape recorder and demands that Willis stay for a few days . Willis , in no situation to bargain being trapped in the dome with no way of calling for help , is forced to oblige . The Doctor and Davros have a discussion about their past . Davros considers the Doctor to be the closest thing to a friend he ' s ever had , and tries to convince him that he has changed his ways after 90 years of nothing to do but think and remember . They break for lunch , as is government - required . Baynes shows the Doctor to the computer centre , the centre of all the dome ' s electronic systems . Though , as the Doctor notes , a tactical disadvantage with everything in one place , its walls are heavily fortified , and the fortress of a centre has everything in it for men to survive for weeks on end . In the computer centre , Kim tells the Doctor of what she and Willis had seen earlier : a secret automated production line for a whole army of robot s . What is going on ? What is TAI preparing for ? They decide to meet again . Lorraine sits dinner with Davros , whom she admires greatly . She wants to write the definitive biography of Davros , and intends to interview him for it . He reminisces about his past , about the food pill s offered on Skaro . While the Doctor warns Baynes about Davros , Davros does the opposite with Baynes ' wife . Within their first day at work , the Doctor and Davros complete a prototype of the alpha matrix , something Baynes thought would take them months . He then tasks Davros with something far more complex : to end the galactic famine , and feed Mutter ' s Spiral . The Doctor doesn ' t trust him , and expresses this to Willis and Kim in their prearranged meeting . Baynes expresses the same thing to his wife Lorraine : the Doctor " may " be right , and they should be prepared for this possibility . The Doctor and co . explore the dome , to find the secret robot factory Willis and Kim discovered earlier . He inspects one of the robots , and finds out where his work has gone . His invention has not been used as a starship ' s navigation computer — it ' s in a robot ' s central processing unit . When Willis contemplates destroying an approaching robot , though , it goes into defensive mode . The machine advances ; it is just about to kill them . Part two . " to be added "
