While Davros and the Doctor bicker and snark at each other, we're treated to snippets of Davros' life on Skaro. Flashbacks show him in AnachronisticOrder as a simple Kaled scientist; working on projects together with his friend Shan; his accident, his recovery, and becoming used to his horribly disfigured body; Shan coming up with the concept of Daleks in order to save the Kaled race.

The premise is simple - after being found drifting in the cold of space by [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Arnold Baynes]] and his wife Lorraine, head of [[MegaCorp TAI Industries]], Davros is revived and...[[CutLexLuthorACheck hired to work as the new head of their R&D Division]]. The Doctor, having been summoned by an old colleague, is displeased with this arrangement, and, after abruptly introducing himself, hires himself out to Mr Baynes, so he can be present when Davros inevitably flips.

It turns out that Davros has (of course) spent his time at TAI Industries making a nuclear bomb to throw on top
of the BigFinish "Villains Trilogy", leading up to ''Zagreus''. It features no appearances Doctor, since he solved all of TAI Industries' actual problems during his first few hours there. The Doctor neutralises the Daleks, instead focusing on [[CharacterFocus bomb, but by that time Davros has already taken over the man himself]] company and manipulated Lorraine Baynes into handing him full executive power. While pretty much every single minor character in the story rapidly dies, Davros and the Sixth Doctor get a chance to talk in full detail about how they feel about each other. Davros makes a good show of insisting that he ''has. no. emotions.'', but is tripped by the painful memory of Shan and his battle homesickness for a life of wits against war and battle. When the question comes up of whether he might have loved Shan, Davros reveals that he simply took the credit for her concept of Daleks and damned her to death.

Davros escapes in the end, as he always does, and Six glumly notes that
his old foe.
JokerImmunity is yet another way in which he and Davros are NotSoDifferent. Lorraine thinks she'll get away as well, but the Doctor stays by her side until the interstellar police arrive.



* MotiveRant: The story starts off with a flashback of Davros on Skaro, after suffering his horrific injuries. His people, who are [[ThoseWackyNazis big on "purity"]] want him to kill himself. After a few minutes of contemplation...he decides ''no''.
* NotSoDifferent: Davros tries this with the Doctor, noting that, [[FriendlyEnemy if things had been different, they could have gotten along famously]]. The Doctor is less than impressed.
