The one where the Daleks ZergRush Gallifrey.

* ShockingDefeatLegacy: Arcadia, "safest place on Gallifrey", falls to the Daleks. This is the event which provokes the War Doctor to declare "no more".

The first soldier has the recruit try out the scanners in his head-cam. While scanning, he notices a blur in the clouds. Zooming in to focus, he sees a Dalek. The recruit's hearts start pulsing madly as the other soldier urges him to lock on and follow that Dalek wherever it goes. Arcadia goes on maximum alert. An alarm is sounded for one Dalek incoming, but then the true threat strikes, as '''approximately a billion billion Daleks''' pour down from the skies. One stops in front of the recruit and fires, killing the recruit.

Someone is fitted with a head-cam which, in the event of his death, will transmit all the information to his family drive. It is an ordinary day for this new recruit. However, the installation of his head-cam is giving him problems. He can't speak, and it's causing terrifying mental flashes that indicate ominous events are approaching. He is at Arcadia, apparently "the safest place on Gallifrey". Another soldier tells him that Arcadia is protected by 400 sky-trenches, nobody in history has got through even two. However, one Dalek would be enough to destroy them all.

* EvilOnlyHasToWinOnce: It's mentioned it would take only one Dalek getting through the sky trenches to destroy all of Arcadia. Now imagine what '''ten million''' would do...

* TemptingFate: Safest place on Gallifrey indeed...
* ThisCannotBe: That couldn't possibly be a Dalek....There are 400 sky trenches....

* OhCrap: The soldier helping him when he sees a Dalek has got through.

* TheVoiceless: The unseen soldier cannot speak properly because of a side effect caused by hooking up the web cam.
