Diana Ross ain't got nothing on these guys...
"It's obviously the Doc-tor." Caan said. Adam agreed, nodding his eyestalk, his cap slipped and he hurriedly put it back into place.
"He is trying to bring in a large TARDIS," he said.
"You wouldn't think he'd need a *large* TARDIS," Caan mused waving his spare arm about. "However, we shall teach him for his treachery. Blast the covering off! Exterminate!"
***pew***pew***pew***
"My vision seems to be impaired..."
Caan and Adam looked at each other and then at the other Supreme Dalek in front of them. His arms and headlamps were in a bag and his eyestalk was covered in bubblewrap.
"Not the Doc-tor then," Adam said, somewhat glumly. He'd been all riled up to exterminate.
"Relative of yours?" Caan enquired.
"That's better," the other Supreme said once the lads had freed his appendages and made sure he was in one piece. "I've been in there for 3 days!"
"Where'd ya come from?" Caan asked. He was mildly put out. He was used to be being the largest Dalek and this guy was Bigger
"Tesco, orignally."
"Well, welcome to the Dalek Crew," Adam said. He wasn't put out. In fact, Caan thought, he almost insufferably smug about the entire situation. "I am Adam, Supreme Corporal of the UNIT Daleks, that's Caan, he's our Head Supreme." He didn't add "by size alone".
"Pleased ta meetcha." The other Dalek said. "They simply call me Soop."
"I'd like to make a soup outta you," Caan muttered bad temperedly, and then audibly to the other two Daleks "Adam, I will leave him in your care for now, I have a meeting with Queen Gusty over at the Dream Castle."
"No problem Boss," Adam said. "I'll round up Jamie and Squish, they'll be delighted."
"I'll send them down then," the Head Supreme said and departed, cursing under his breath.
"He thinks you're going to oust him," Adam said to Soop after Caan was out of earshot.
"I wouldn't dream of it," Soop replied, Adam tried not to look crestfallen-he and Caan had a long history of internal power struggles.
"Dad!" came a voice. Adam cringed.
"Stop calling me that!" he yelled automatically. Soop turned his dome to face the other two Supreme Daleks, both smaller as they floated down to meet him.
"Soop, this is Jamie and Squish," Adam said. "Jamie insists he's my son. Guys, this is Soop, new face on the block, try to make him feel welcome."
So, do a lot of Daleks live here then?" Soop asked
"With you we're about 46," Adam replied. Jamie had floated up to rest on Soop's arm. "If he's annoying you, just chuck him off." In the meantime, Squish had climbed up onto him.
"Come on guys," Adam growled. "Off before I start exterminating, let's take the new guy for a patrol then we'll go up and introduce him to the others."
"I obey!" Jamie and Squish chorused.
"Lend him your cap Dad," Jamie suggested. "Bet it'll fit him better!"
Soop was grateful for the lend but did indeed, make sure the cap got back to its smaller owner. He didn't want to step on any tentacles, not on his first day. It seemed he'd already got off to a bad start with the Dalek-in-charge.
"So, Soop what do you make of us o far?2 Caan asked. He supposed he might as well give the newbie a chance.
"Uhm, it's nice so far." Soop replied. "I think i'm going to like it here. There's no...you know...children is there?"
Caan sniggered.
"No kids, you're safe in that respect. We do have cats though. We'll get you some batteries and then I'll hehhehehe....introduce you."
Soop caught the inference and soon him and Caan were giggling away.
"I think, Adam," Adri said quietly from her vantage point. "Your plan for domination of the Crew might have slightly backfired."
"Shut it, fe-male." Adam growled. He'd thought for sure a larger Supreme would have made to overthrow Caan. He'd been searching for one the elusive 18 inch Supremes for months. Trust him to get a nice one!
