The Asylum of the Daleks is a place that no one would want to be stuck in. It contains every nasty type of
Dalek imaginable, except they're all turned off... for the moment. There are particles in the air that can animate anything that is or was living and turn it into a Dalek.
Now, if you didn't know, a Dalek is one of the Doctor's greatest enemies. (The Doctor refers to
Doctor Who). I remember the first time I ever saw a Dalek. At first I thought it was just a stupid, not scary, talking trashcan. As I watched the show, the Daleks kept showing up. It took until the Daleks fried every nerve in a person's body using something that looks like a
whisk for me to be afraid of the Daleks. Later I found out the Daleks have weapons that look like
plungers on them. These weapons can basically suck someones soul out. They also have grenades on them that take the form of dull studs on their shell. When released, these grenades will kill everything in about a 20-foot radius of the Dalek except for them and other Daleks. But for me, the most terrifying thing about a Dalek is its inability to reason. Daleks have no emotion but hate, and their only goal is to take over the universe and transform every living and intelligent life form into a Dalek. However, every plan has a flaw, and the Dalek's is no exception.
The Doctor's mission in the Asylum was to get to the heart of the planet, plant a planet-destroying bomb, and set the charge. The Asylum is where the Doctor first met
Clara, his paradoxal new companion. She was in the form of Oswin, a pilot of a spacecraft which had crash landed on the Asylum in a crash that killed her crew, who the Doctor met in the beginning of the adventure in the form of
Dalek skeletons! Oswin had actually been captured by the Asylum Daleks and turned into the most intelligent Dalek of all time. Eventually, she found out, and caused the entire Asylum to blow up without the Doctor ever planting the bomb. The Daleks were happy, and everyone else was still alive.
