Can Daleks do it?

Birds do it, bees do it, even educated flees do it, but can Daleks interlock exposed sexual members for the rite of procreation and produce progeny?

Consider how the Doctor ambly found a postKaled Jellyfish creature just out for a stroll across the commons of Skaro in Destiny of the Daleks? It would appear that naturally evolved, like that guy, postKaleds who had approached a Dalek like state, physically at least, on their own, were still capable of sexual(? How do Jellyfish do it?) reproduction, so why not actual Daleks too unless they were all individually castrated early on, constantly chemically castrated or their sexuality and the tools for sexuality had been written out of their genetic code since dot and there would be fear that anything short of a strict lab restricted natal environment would lead to undalek like mutation away from the desired perfection they had attained and maintained to survive on Skaro, even though few Daleks had ever been to Skaro for thousands upon thousands of years depending when we're playing peekaboo on the timeline, and if we're talking about Skaro or Skaro II or Skaro ten thousand...

But seeing to their needs imagine the rape murder they'd have to exactly on some unassuming new homeworld when they try to recreate the effects of a thousand years of nuclear and chemical warfare with the Thals to make themselves more comfortable even though they never leave their battle suits? And that's interesting in it's own right, is there some sort of communal area where they meet without the travel units before we even question if they can root?

Most likely it would be aquatic or low to zero Gee?
 
I assume they grow new Daleks through some process. Reproduction leads to evolution, some the Daleks seem to be against considering they believe themselves to be perfect.
 
Would, should and could.

They might have the anatomy even if it is completely abhorrent to their will, that with cattle prods you could convince two of them to mate.

Or if they don't have the anatomy? How is the Dalek version of Romeo and Juliet going to play out if they can't express their love? ..."Every time i kill some one, it means "I love you"."
 
I remember one of the Doctors (3?) in a creche of young Daleks and being strangled by one as an ep climax. Might have been 4. it was some kind of breeding chamber where they were grown. Beyond that... I don't want to speculate. :eek:
 
The was the cliff hanger to on of the later episode of Genesis of the Daleks fron 1975ish. Which was first generation Dalek, so you have to wonder how stagnant their ideology was that they quit any sense of adancement from Davros' first finished product.

The Doctor found the jellyfish nearly 5 years later with Romana II tagging along where it was kinda made clear that they didn't experiment on themselves.

Near the end Ace describes a dalek she sees in it's casing as a blobby thing, and the Imperial Daleks as blobby things with bits, since Davros was beginning to investigate cybernetics and grafts to diversify their abilities.
 
I'm going to say that they reproduce through artificial insemination. Anything else would be disturbing.
 
On the topic of communal areas, well I was thinking siege tactics, of course this is siege tower vs siege tower rather than siege tower vs castle, that the Daleks would have to have 200 foot tall mechadaleks to stand up to Cyberlords being all hoity for when the occasion arises, and sure, one Dalek can handle the same travel machine even if it's twelve times the size of a travel machine we're common to expect, but it might be more like Voltron than a robot jock from Robotech with plenty of jellyfish manning different areas, not that there might not just be several regular travel units inside the mechadalek?

Dalek-Romeo: If I profane with my unworthiest plunger
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My voicebox, two blushing pilgrims ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

Dalek-Juliet: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your plunger too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have plungers that pilgrims' plungers do touch,
And sucker to sucker is holy palmer's kiss.

Dalek-Romeo: Have not saints voiceboxes, and holy palmers too?

Dalek-Juliet: Ay, pilgrim, voiceboxes that they must use in prayer.

Dalek-Romeo&Dalek-Juliet: O then, dear saint, let voiceboxes do what plungers do. They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

Dalek-Juliet: Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.

Dalek-Romeo&Dalek-Juliet: Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take...

Should read "Saints DO-NOT-MOVE!!!, though grant for prayer's sake"... ;)
 
Of course the Daleks don't do it. Why do you think they scream? They're trapped in an endless mire of sexual frustration.
 
What do you think all those tenticles are for? They can do it with 8 other dalek's at once. Now, as for that Human Dalek..... :o
 
Can Daleks do it?
Certainly not. Imagine your partner screaming "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" when you're pregnant.

Imagine?

What bloke has to imagine that?

The Humaniform Dalek receiving multiple tentacle jobs?

I recall once or twice being at the centre of a circle of "girls" at school who braided the shit out of my hair, which was halfway down my back at the time.

The logistics are similar.
