Summary
Kaymee Arnod performs an orbital drop to her new position as a Graxis Warden, but is disturbed in her descent by an unknown flying object and lands hard. Once there, she is introduced to her fellow wardens under the command of Frey Saxton. The group has its hands full, though, due to the appearance of strange machines in their ecological preserves and the disappearance of one of the wardens. The missing warden quickly turns up dead, and the other wardens are nearly killed by a metal creature watching over the machines. They contact the local Border Worlds authorities, who promise to send an investigation team at some point.

Meanwhile, Galactic Union Security Commander Georgi Selestru is investigating rumours of an approaching Dalek menace. First, he dispatches mysterious man Galanar to the Border Worlds, looking for Daleks. Then he revives the recently found Siy Tarkov, who is suffering the main stages of NFS plague.

The Graxis Wardens are surprised at the sudden arrival of Provost Carneill with an investigation team. They are more surprised when they find out that the investigation team is comprised of Daleks.

Continuity
The key message from Siy Tarkov was sent at the end of Dalek Empire II: Dalek War.
