So, [[Doctor Who|Dalek Sec]] died a horrible death, leaving behind his casing after the events of "Daleks in Manhattan", right?
 
Line 9 ⟶ 8:
That of ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]''. [[Oh Crap|Oh dear.]]
 
In his investigations of temporal space, he meets one [[Time Traveler|Homura]] [[The Stoic|Akemi,]] and, hopefully, they can finally fix this [[Groundhog Day Loop]] that she's stuck in. [[Crapsack World|Or]] [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog|not.]]
 
[[Crapsack World|Or]] [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog|not.]]
 
It takes a lot to make the reader root for the Daleks, but Kyubey manages.

DoNot notto confusebe confused with [[The Hero|heroes in general]], [[A Hero (film)|the 2021 film that won the Grand Prix at Cannes]], or [[Hero|similarly titled works and tropes]], or [[The Hero|heroes in general]]. And definitely not [[Driven to Suicide|"An Hero"]].
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[JustAll AsAccording Plannedto Plan]]: Chapter Five gives us two of these: From [[Eldritch Abomination|The]] [[Hive Mind|Mind]] and {{spoiler|[[You Will Be Assimilated|The]] [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul|Cybermen]]}}
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The Spacebattles thread.
* [[Angrish]]: Sec's fourth attempt at [[Dwarf Fortress]] is described as "''UNINTELLIGIBLE SOUNDS OF INTENSE RAGE.''" Italics and caps included in story. Justified as, well, [[Death World|It's]] [[Everything Trying to Kill You|Dwarf]] [[Crapsack World|Fortress.]]
Line 78 ⟶ 76:
* [[Humanity Is Infectious]]: Zig-zagged all over the place. On one hand, Dalek Sec now has human emotions. However, it's because of his attempt at hybridization in "Daleks in Manhattan," but he's also trying to work through those feelings. And while he's trying to examine human culture... it doesn't always go quite as simply as some of the more iconic examples of this trope. See also, [[Dwarf Fortress]] or his reaction to [[Avatar]]. But on the other OTHER hand, he views humans as a great species because [[Humans Are Warriors]]. See below for more clarification.
* [[Humans Are Warriors]]: Dalek Sec seems to think this. Part of his inner monologue implies that humans are only second to the Daleks themselves when it comes to war. He is ''not at all'' amused that the Incubators see them as cattle.
* [[Just As Planned]]: Chapter Five gives us two of these: From [[Eldritch Abomination|The]] [[Hive Mind|Mind]] and {{spoiler|[[You Will Be Assimilated|The]] [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul|Cybermen]]}}
* [[Mad Scientist]]: [[Captain Obvious|Dalek Sec.]] [[Lampshaded Trope|Lampshaded immediately.]]
* [[Most Definitely Not a Villain|Most Definitely Not An Alien]]/HughMann: Inverted, Dalek Sec doesn't even bother using a disguise or hiding and even accompanies Homura in plain sight, [[Obviously Evil|while telling everyone who bother to ask that he's an alien Nazi.]] Naturally, [[Refuge in Audacity|everyone finds it so ridiculous that they come to their own conclusions instead.]]
Line 137 ⟶ 134:
{{quote|''Dalek Sec wasn’t quite near the I-will-kill-everyone-on-this-planet-with-their-own-internal-organs stage yet, but he was certainly getting there.''}}
** Noted slightly earlier that what a human considers "Unstoppable Rage," is merely "Miffed," to a Dalek. If any other life form in existence felt what a ''Dalek'' considers unstoppable rage, they would ''explode.''
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Chapter 4. {{spoiler|The Doctor is in the house.}}
** Chapter Five: {{spoiler|One of the coalition members is the Cybermen!}}
*** Also {{spoiler|[[Oh Crap|The Dalek Inquisitor General is free]]}}.
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: The revelation that ''Puella Magi'' do not age causes much [[Fridge Horror]] for Madoka.
** Subverted with Dalek Sec, and the subversion is justified: increased age means more combat experience, so having survived a very long time is a [[Blue and Orange Morality|badge of honor for him.]] Also, he wants to restore his race eventually, and given his first attempts to create Dalek Embryos (in Daleks in Manhattan) and his first attempt at making a casing (chapter two of this story), he's probably gonna be around for a while...
