These dayleks...
Daleks.
Oh, Daleks, where are they from?
From Skaro, at least originally. They're the mutated remains of a species called the Kaleds. Left here.
Why were they left here?
No, turn left here!
Oh, right.
No left, you missed the turning!
What turn? Where?
Why don't you concentrate on where you're going?!
Look, I'm doing the best I can! If you don't like it, you drive!
[the two somehow change seats as the van goes under a bridge, much to Ace's confusion]
The Kaleds were at war with the Thals. They had a dirty nuclear war. The resulting mutations were then accelerated by their chief scientist, Davros. What he created he then placed in a metal war machine, and that's how the Daleks came about.
So that metal thing had a creature inside controlling it?
Exactly. And ever since the Daleks were created, they've tried to conquer and enslave as much as the universe as they can get their grubby little protuberances on.
And now they want to conquer the Earth.
Nothing so mundane. They conquer the Earth in the 22nd century. No. They want the Hand of Omega.
What's that?
One thing at a time, Ace.
