The Pentaray Factor






	In the fifth story, the Daleks land on the planet Solturis declaring peace and friendship. It's an unlikely claim, but the locals have no reason to disbelieve - apart from old Lurr, who has seen a vision of the future showing destruction and slavery beneath the Daleks. But who will listen to his claims? This is Altered Vistas sixth project. Below is a selection of images from the production. Please click here to order a copy of this production.

The city of Bulos on Solturis. A nice looking place... until the Daleks arrive, of course, and start blasting chunks out of it. Remember what they did to Alvega?

Taken directly from the strip, this image shows the Daleks arriving on Solturis.

Mirva's house. I'd quite like to go and stay there actually. Though preferably without Geltis trying to blow it up to cover his foul deeds and the threat of an imminent Dalek attack. I bet the house prices in Bulos will plummet...

King Redlin's court. Again, this has been reimagined from the strip, but keeping the basic feel and the key objects.

Here Lurr points at his Bowl of Tomorrow in an attempt to convince the king that foul deeds are afoot.

Boo and hiss! It's Geltis, arch villain and traitor to the Daleks. And he looks such a nice man too...

Lurr and his granddaughter Mirva at work in Lurr's laboratory. Another image taken directly from the comic strip.

This is Jareth. He's just had a jug of water thrown over him.

He deserved it too.

The Pentaray enjoys picnics and walks in the country. It's bright red friend to the far right is Geltis' flyer.

King Redlin argues with his son. The Courtier, who always enjoys a good quarrel, listens in.

Mirva, Jareth and Redlin watch the Daleks make off with their precious Pentaray from the palace balcony.

I bet Redlin feels a fool now for not listening to Lurr...

And just when you thought there were no Daleks to be seen in Pentaray, here's a shot of the Emperor mid-rant.

Mirva isn't too impressed with Prince Jareth. Does it show?

Geltis connives with the Daleks. What a scoundrel!

Redlin pays a visit to Lurr, fully expecting a very loud and very firm "I told you so!"

The Emperor surveys his space armada from the bridge of his ship shortly before he departs.

The Emperor is extremely good at departing just as things get tricky...

The Daleks find hill walking rather arduous.

"I have left my rucksack in the hostel," says the one on the left.

Now, which old bloke was it who predicted a terrible fate for Solturis? Redlin, Mirva and a guard watch it happening.

The Daleks prepare to exterminate all life on Solturis. Which is nice of them.
