What happened
The travellers encounter command structures, a Warlord and the dangerous inheritance of Dalek technology. MINO faces an adaptive infection. The Dream Engine’s promise of an ideal future presents another form of control, and the crew reject that offer.
Where the book leaves us
The Last Design takes a cooperative form but is left dormant with a safeguard. Survivors have rebuilding to do; the travellers continue onwards. The outcome is deliberately narrower than universal victory over the Daleks. This place has a chance to choose differently, without a guarantee that no one will ever misuse what remains.
