Top - secret Station 7 is where the Earth Forces send all the equipment captured in their unceasing war against the Dalek s . It ' s where Dalek technology is analysed and examined . It ' s where the Doctor and Amy have just arrived . But somehow the Daleks have found out about Station 7 - and there ' s something there that they want back . With the Doctor increasingly worried about the direction the Station ' s research is taking , the commander of Station 7 knows he has only one possible , desperate , defence . Because the last terrible secret of Station 7 is that they don ' t only store captured Dalek technology . It ' s also a prison . And the only thing that might stop a Dalek is another Dalek . Plot . " The war has raged for a hundred years - humanity is standing against the might and terror of the Daleks . All that is good against all that is terrible . Bravery , courage and determination against unfeeling , pitiless monsters . . . It is a war that may never end . " The TARDIS lands in a petrified jungle . The Doctor begins to recognise it but soon they find a window revealing they are on a space station . Then , there is a scream for help . The Doctor and Amy rush to help but the scientist who screamed transforms into a Varga plant . A Slyther then attacks the Varga Plant , allowing the Doctor and Amy to escape . The Doctor remembers the forest as the jungle on Skaro . They find a way out and run into SSS officers . The head of the group - - Space Major Jay Bourne - - questions them on what happened to the scientist . The Doctor uses the psychic paper to convince Jay that he and Amy are inspectors . Jay takes them to the base commander . They are introduced to Commander Tranter , who tells them about Station 7 , Earth ' s best - kept secret and what they believe can bring them victory over the Dalek s . He gives them a quick tour and explanation , showing them the petrified jungle with the Slyther and Varga plants , Robomen , Ogron s , Mechanoid s , Dalek weaponry and Dalek scoutships . He also shows them " harmless " Dalek prisoners that have had their guns removed and only work on static electricity . Tranter then talks of Professor Weston and his plans to change the Daleks ' aggressive nature - a plan he is against . He takes them to where Weston ' s laboratory should be , but they find a force field displaying outer space , as the whole section has dropped away . The Doctor ' s theory is confirmed that the station was once an ore station and concluded Weston dropped his laboratory section intentionally . Amy thinks she sees something moving out in space . Jay reports it , but Tranter shrugs it off . He is more interested in a demonstration about to be given . Kustler brings a disarmed Dalek into the room with a control . The Dalek mutant is still inside , so the casing works but it is operated by remote control . Other scientists are impressed , but the Doctor and Tranter both object . Tranter decides to consider it , but orders the Dalek to be locked away again . Jay takes the Dalek , away with the Doctor and Amy accompanying her . They pass another SSS officer , who asked where the other Dalek is . Jay tells the Doctor they are fitted with tracers so he races off to find it . From what could be gathered , Hadleigh took the Dalek into the petrified jungle and it stayed there . A static feed is detected and the Dalek is revealed to have power . The Doctor instructs to cut the feed and intends to go after the Dalek . After some resistance from Amy , he convinces her to stay put and monitor the activity with Tranter . The Doctor , Jay and other officers enter the jungle but one is quickly grabbed by a Varga plant . At the same time , the Robomen begin attacking their guards and a nearby asteroid field changes course for the station . Scans show the asteroids are 78 % Dalekanium . Tranter sends out a warning to the base and orders the fighters to be launched . Meanwhile , the Dalek in the jungle is found drawing power from a Magneton . It knocks out another officer with the Magneton and says it is waiting to be rescued . The other officer grabbed by the Varga plant also attacks . The Doctor and Jay escape as the Vargas and Slyther come after them . Amy opens the doors to the jungle and lets them out before warning them about the asteroids while the Dalek in the jungle runs out of power and deactivates . As the fighters near the " asteroids " , Kustler insists they use their captured Dalek technology against the attackers . Tranter refuses but there is little choice . Tranter eventually decides to go along with the plan . Static power is cut and the prisoner Daleks are taken to be converted . As the prisoner Daleks are converted , Jay orders them to be numbered to tell them apart from proper Daleks . The sound of static pulses fills the base , taking control of the Ogrons and Robomen . Finally , the Dalek fleet abandons the asteroid camouflage and a great space battle begins . Most of the casualties are humans . The converted Daleks are positioned on a balcony while the attacking Daleks dock the station . The Robomen and Ogrons also join the battle and overpower the guards . They arrive sooner than the Daleks who are busy cutting through bulkhead doors . The converted Daleks fight back and drive them away . However , the Daleks breach the station . The Doctor sends Amy back to the TARDIS while the Daleks arrive at the balcony . When ordered to fight back , the converted Daleks turn on the SSS . Many are killed , including Kustler . The Doctor quickly releases the docking clamps of the section they are in and the Daleks are sucked into space . The section falls to the ice planet Strantana below Still on the station , Amy and Jay find a damaged Dalek that went through conversion , numbered 3 , but the Daleks capture them and move to destroy everything on the station in search of " the Abomination " . With no luck they scan the jettisoned section and detect the Doctor . The Doctor meanwhile gets out of the section on Strantana ' s surface as it begins to sink in the planet ' s molten core under the shattered ice and go an explore , unaware they are being watched from afar . They are attacked by native creatures but saved by others who have undergone a process which tamed them and they are led a hidden base . Meanwhile , Amy is interrogated aboard a Dalek ship about the Abomination . She believed the Doctor died in the descent , but is corrected by the Daleks . She knows nothing of the Abomination and is sent back to her cell where Jay is . Jay calls upon Dalek 3 they found on the station . It responds before the Daleks destroy Station 7 completely . A Dalek enters Amy and Jay ' s cell and the girls attack it . Its weapon is turned on Jay , and a Dalek gun is fired - but it is Dalek 3 destroying the Dalek guard . Dalek 3 instructs Amy and Jay to follow it to the hangar , where there is a scoutship . They escape the ship , but only because the Daleks allowed it to happen . The scoutship crashes on Strantana but the passengers are unharmed . The Dalek detects the survivors ' tracks and follows them . They are also being watched , like the Doctor who is now at the base and aware of it . The Daleks also arrive on the planet to continue their search . They find a Slyther stranded by the magma and recover it but one Dalek falls in . A signal from " their agent " is then detected and they follow it . The base is powered by heat from the magma so no power can be detected . It turns out to be owned by Professor Weston . He has a Dalek mutant in a glass container and the processed natives are his work . He spies Amy and Jay with the Dalek and thinks them to be collaborators but is quickly corrected . They plan to attack the Dalek as soon as the trio arrives . Weston thinks he may have a use for the casing . The Doctor asks about the mutant which Weston claims he has successfully tamed . He claims it is " the only good Dalek " but Tranter claims it is " an abomination " . The Dalek force on the planet is discovered as Amy , Jay and Dalek 3 arrive at the base . Weston sends his processed creatures to stop them and Tranter ' s agents also volunteer , if only to buy time . They are all killed very quickly . When Amy and Jay arrive , Dalek number 3 goes crazy , announcing the Abomination , Weston ' s tame Dalek mutant , is so be exterminated . The Doctor and Weston quickly disable it and open the casing . Weston plans to use it to house the tamed mutant while the original mutant is taken out . Outside the base , a missile strike grants the Daleks entry . They work quickly , taking out the mutant from Dalek 3 ' s casing as it recovers . It is placed in a liquid - filled container like the tamed one , but the on the container appears a mysterious crack that nobody notices . . . Weston ' s research is put onto a disk and Tranter places the Dalek into the casing . The Doctor sets the facility to self - destruct , which will kill all the Daleks inside . The countdown begins . They have under 23 minutes to escape , while another Dalek mutant watches on having been left alone . The Daleks send a Slyther to attack the Doctor and the others but it is killed by their Dalek . Unfortunately , in doing so , the route is blocked . Weston knows of another way but bulkheads are required to be opened . Jay volunteers to return to the generator room and open them there . There she finds the lone Dalek mutant but realises it is the tame one and that Tranter put the original one back in its casing . At that moment , Tranter arrives and announced " Mission compromised . Exterminate ! " and attacks Jay . She is rescued by the Doctor who distracts Tranter by disrupting his eye scope with his sonic screwdriver . The Doctor is then able to piece together the " real " story of Tranter . When he was captured on the front lines , the Daleks interrogated and implanted memories into him while programming him . He only " believed " he fought his way out of the ship but really he was set free along with other prisoners who had been programmed as Dalek agents along with him . He was programmed to take the job as Station 7 ' s commander which is how the Daleks found it . The Doctor strikes Tranter , knocking his scope off and freeing him from Dalek control . The Daleks lose their signal connection with him and the Doctor destroys the device . They rush to warn Amy and Weston that the Dalek they are with is still evil . Tranter goes off to try and disable the reactor to save Weston ' s Dalek . Amy and Weston are tricked by the Dalek and their route is cut off by two more . Weston passes Amy the disk of his research . The Doctor and Jay sneak up on one of the Daleks and Weston distracts them , pushing Amy to safely while the Daleks kill him . The Doctor takes a pipe and freezes the ice arch , apparently trapping the Daleks . They easily break free , however , and concern themselves more with the extermination of the abomination . They arrive at the reactor and shut off the countdown as Tranter reveals himself . He attempts to convince them he is still under Dalek control but it quickly discovered . He shuts down the base ' s safety measures and runs for it . The Daleks try to enable them again but the controls are damaged . Tranter is caught again . The Abomination is located but its tank smashes and it curls a tentacle around a switch , finishing the countdown . It croaks : " Exterminate " . The base begins flooding with magma , killing the Daleks and Tranter . The Doctor , Amy and Jay make it to the surface before the magma can claim them . Two Daleks , one of them Dalek 3 , correctly predict an eruption . Dalek 3 is destroyed for failing to keep the facility safe . The surviving Dalek spies the Abomination but it too late to act . All the Daleks in the base fall victim to the flowing magma , the ships on the surface are unable to take off , and those that try to fly away themselves are unable to make it to before the eruption , which destroys them all . The Doctor , Amy and Jay look from a safe distance . The Doctor fixes the crashed Dalek scoutship for Jay before he and Amy say their good - byes and leave in the TARDIS . Amy asks if Weston ' s work will be of any use but the Doctor thinks not . He claims there is " no such thing as a good Dalek " . Jay makes contact with another SSS officer who knows what it is like to be a prisoner of the Daleks and ( apparently ) arranges her a safe passage in flight . But she is seen to have a scope over her eye and the Daleks hear everything she says as Jay approaches the Dalek saucer hidden in an asteroid field . . . The Dalek war still goes on , but Amy is confused as to how Weston ' s data will do humanity any good if it won ' t work . The Doctor answers by telling her that it represents the one thing humans have that the Daleks can never destroy : Hope . . .
