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 heart starts 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 ''hundreds'' upon '''''millions'''''' of Daleks pour down from the skies. One stops in front of the recruit, opens fire, and he is apparently killed.

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. While scanning, he notices a blur in the clouds. Zooming in to focus, he sees a Dalek, and then many more Daleks attack and he is apparently killed.
