plot synopsis
On the planet Necros, Davros has set up a base in the cryogenics centre where wealthy people pay to be frozen until a cure can be found for their various ailments. He is selling the bodies to Kara as a base protein, which she then sells to solve various famines at great profit, and also building up a new army of white Daleks at the same time. Kara sends two assassins, Orcini and Bostock, to kill Davros thinking that all that is left of him is a head in a life support machine, but Davros is exactly as he always was, and promptly defeats the two men. The Doctor and Peri are caught in the middle of everything, as a rival faction of Daleks arrive, and all hell breaks loose as they try to capture Davros to take him back to Skaro to face trial.
