Museum Peace (short story)

Summary
The Doctor arrives in a Velyshaan museum dedicated to the Dalek War, the Doctor meets Kalendorf there who is now an old soldier and reminisces the war. The Doctor needed to meet Kalendorf there so that he could help him make a decision that would destroy the Daleks, but at the cost of everything the Doctor holds dear (Gallifrey, Time Lords). A nearby Dalek in a display cabinet is not as dead as it seems and has charged enough power for one fire of its energy weapon, it sees the Doctor and Kalendorf and has to make the decision of which to kill. The Dalek makes the decision and fires, a nearby school child runs infront of the Doctor and Kalendorf and unintentionally takes the shot. Kalendorf quickly responds by destroying the Dalek, he turns around to see that the child is dead and the Doctor is nowhere to be seen. Kalendorf concludes that the Doctor had made his decision.
