Individual cases
In 1930 in New York City, Dalek Thay of the Cult of Skaro sacrificed three of his Dalekanium panels for the Final Experiment, replacing them with contemporary metal covering. Attached to the mast of the Empire State Building by unwitting human workers, the Dalekanium was intended to absorb a gamma strike which was to hit the Earth, thus infusing the human corpses that the Cult had collected with Dalek DNA, creating Dalek-Humans. The Tenth Doctor, using his sonic screwdriver, attempted to unfasten the panels only to drop the sonic screwdriver due to weather conditions. He then attempted to physically remove the panels, but was struck by lightning, resulting in his Time Lord DNA mixing with the Dalek-Humans, causing them to turn against the Cult and destroy both Dalek Jast and Thay.
