DalekTek790 was a once human. He was one of millions who had cubes of cerebral tissue sliced out of their brains under Project Social Security Solution, and was made into a robot drone to work on the petroleum mines of Ur, which were established after Earth’s oil reserves were depleted when the Middle East was nuked on the day the president pushed all of the buttons on his laptop, sure that one of them could get him on the Internet (which, unbeknownst to him, had been taken away by its inventor when he was defeated in the presidential race).
On Ur, distillation drone 790 was modified by the techno-shaman skekTek to distill and absorb the essence (thoughts, memories, everything) from other life forms as retaliation for the ethnic cleansing of his people which took place when the president hit ctrl+alt+del. 790 promptly drained the essence of skekTek and assimilated his body. The resulting being, calling itself “Tek790,” reconstituted an ice machine into a working stargate and transported itself to Earth, thirsty for new essence.
Tek790’s human brain cube had acquired virtually infinite knowledge from its prey, but, due to the fact that the parts of the brain governing emotion, ethics, and other qualities that make humans human, combined with the maddening effect of the memories of thousands of beings whose essence it had absorbed, had driven the cyborg half-insane (personality type 13: mad scientist, to be exact). It returned to Earth to drink the essence of the president, but found that a new order had been formed, and the president that had disembodied its one component and destroyed the civilization of its other component was no longer in power.
By assimilating mechanical components and mutant D.N.A. from the battered war machines of a defeated terrorist group from Skaro and covering its vulnerable organic components with polycarbide armor, it became DalekTek790. Provided its brain cube was not tampered with, and its programming not altered, there was nothing stopping DalekTek790 from its goal: the absorption of the essence of all sentient beings on Earth!
