The electronic pulse filled the vast control centre, many Daleks worked at control consoles while a vast circular table dominated the centre.

Suddenly from the end, an archway carved from metal slid up and in walked an assortment of alien life forms.

Following the group through was a jet Black Dalek, this was the Dalek Supreme. The leading Controller of the operation and second to the Supreme Controller of the Dalek Race.

As he glided down the ramp he looked to each of the beings present, how disgustingly inferior they looked to it.

'Delegates of the outer solar system, you are now all assembled here, the discussion of war council will begin' the Dalek Supreme grated.

Beaus, being a hybrid creature of plant and animal sat there dark and spiky as two fixed eyes burned from its centre.

Gearon, a being with an oval, featureless head stood close by wearng a special visor.

Trantis, was a short wizened being with long facial tendril and a pale green skin.

He stepped forward, arms on the side of the table as he surveyed the situation carefully.

Celation, a tall figure in a pressure suit hissed to himself as Trantis pushed forward a number of purple markers.

Sentriel stood at the back, silent receiving communication from his ship.

'Let us call this meeting to order. We are humble before you Daleks, we of the outer galaxies are joined. Together we will possess supreme power of the universe!' their 'leader' a tall man with thick veins across his face and hands stood by the table. His name was Malpha, a cruel and vicious man to know.

'It is agreed then, that our forces now joined will be more than a match for the universe!' Celation hissed.

'Correct, we offer you an alliance. We shall triumph! We will be supreme!' grated the Dalek Supreme.

'Yes, Victory will be ours! We shall be the Masters of all matter!' Trantis cried.

'Victory is certain but we are not all present, a further member awaits our council' the Dalek Supreme grated and quickly swivelled to vast the control consoles.

'Activate Hyperlink to selected co-ordinates!' ordered the Black Dalek.

'We Obey' chorussed the Communications Daleks and as they pressed the sequence, the vast screens came alive with static.

'This is the Dalek Supreme to final member of War Council. We await your confirmation of entry into our alliance!' it Dalek grated.

'I have agreed. The Invasion will continue, I will make sure that nothing will interrupt our plans!' roared a deep, dark voice.

'Who is this man, who hides from us?' Celation demanded.

'I am not a coward, I am your new master, Celation. All of you here will pay their respect to me! Emperor Martin' purred the voice and suddenly the screen focussed on his grinning face.

'Let my invasion begin!' he roared.
