The Vault (Dalek)



The Vault was an installation located fifty floors beneath the ground, near Salt Lake City, Utah. The Vault contained a museum with Henry van Statten's private collection of alien artefacts. Part of this vault was called the Cage.

Artefacts in the collection included a Dalek (which van Statten called a "Metaltron"), the head of a Mondasian Cyberman, a mileometer from the Roswell crash, the arm of a Raxacoricofallapatorian which Rose believed to be a Slitheen, a compression field, an Earth reptile head, an ape-man head, an alien lizard, a giant beetle, various meteorites, a Jagaroth ship, and a scarecrow head.

Adam Mitchell excavated the Vault in search of time travel technology. He used Cyberman technology to lure a Time Agent Neal Shaw there and freeze him in time. (COMIC: Prisoners of Time)

At some later time, BBC Radio sent a team to the site as part of a documentary on the history of the Dalek race. (AUDIO: The Dalek Conquests)
