"ARKELLIS!" The shout was violent as the Dalek came hurtling down the hallway towards the protective drone. They and their golden child were some place deep within the confines of this Dalek's outpost- but something had grabbed hold of their markers.

"ARKELLIS DO NOT LET THE GOLD ONE OUT OF YOUR SIGHT!" Blueton shouted as white energy began to form around Arkellis, Blue, the golden child and his carer. Each one of them were soon teleported somewhere off planet- far from where they had been before. Together, in a room-

"Not again." Blueton groaned- sounding defeated.

Calyx had been quietly studying when he and Arkreli were transported. The mutant inside was now bristling and puffing in his case, disoriented and spooked.

Seeing Saan, Calyx calmed and went to her. Arkreli took a protective shield stance, noting Vess was not with them...

What do think of this guy?

What do you guys think of the ATAT?

Arkreli stared at the image-

Certain Dalek variants, such as Cephalix, Sin of Empathy, and other odd strains, can experience beyond crude emotions.

Arkreli experienced attraction to Vanna, SVES, and Vess. To him, it feels like warmth. Warmth that envelops and comforts the whole body, and a desire to share that warmth with the one they feel it for.

Vess had on her gas mask, as she and Arkreli ventured outside. Itwas their turn to harvest plumpkins and bring them inside.

"EUGH...!" Arkreli sized up and scanned one of the lumpy, green gourds. "SUFFICIENT, VESS..."

Vess took her axe, cutting the vine and then spraying the massive thing with disinfectant. The two lugged it to the cart and wrapped it.

Name: Vess aka 'The Impossible' 'Vess of 200 Lives' 'V-388'

Planet of Origin: Skaro (Alternate- Dead from War)

Species: Salutary (Bio-Cybernetic Kaled)

Bio: In the throes of the 1,000 Year War, Kaled scientists were dealing with a sudden setback- The sudden death of Davros, and all Dalek embryos also dying from a fast-spreading infection. The Salutaries- Female, bio-Cybernetic Kaleds meant to assist in keeping the Kaled Race alive as far as genetics, were evacuated alongside most other Kaleds. The last subjected two Salutaries to experiments. Vess would live entire other lives across space and time, each dream a full life, birth to death. There were 200, on drives. Strangely, several lives intersected with other Skaros, and especially, a particular Dalek that crashed on her dead planet.

Name: Arkrel'

Planet of Origin: Skaro (The Integrated Empire)

Species: Dalek

Bio: Arkreli defected from the Cult of Skaro, and bears the Sin of Empathy as result. Due to having newly-emerged emotions, he was easily manipulated by Davros to undertake an important mission- Go to timelines far and wide to gather Daleks and save the species. Thanks to him, notable Dalek variants were discovered and preserved, as well as the pure still having enough variation to prevent inbreeding and flaws.

In numerous timelines, he'd meet someone... Her face and species were different, but so much was familiar. No matter the identity, she was key to his mission success, but at the cost of her own life. Now, on this dead Skaro, stranded with two surviving Daleks, the Salutaries that took them in could very well hold the answer.

Secretly, he is the clone offspring of the Dalek Time Strategist

Name: Saan aka '844-N', 'Mama' [Calyx]

Planet of Origin: Skaro (Alternate- Dead from War)

Species: Salutary (Bio-Cybernetic Kaled)

Bio: The 1,000 Year War had led to incredible advancements in killing. The Thals had infected a Kaled Scientist with a rapidly-spreading meningococcal bacteria, making him a carrier. This disease spread among the scientists, Davros, and the 50 Dalek Embryos. Saan had watched them die, desperately trying to save them. She carries the deaths of Davros and especially the Dalek embryos in her heart, and the scars of the Military Elites' beatings on her face. A scapegoat. Saan was left behind as the Kaleds found another Skaro, leaving her with just Vess and the ghosts of the war.

Saan is nervous and careful. She was the one who found and raised Calyx, the Golden Heir. Being his mother had given her some sort of healing. However, her timidness remained, especially when Zxenor and Dhaal order her around.
