VICTORY XX

The second Eaglemoss Figurine story delves deeper into Dalek commanders, scientists, time travel, and saucers before delivering the short story Mission to the Known. Here, we follow the Dalek Scientist, Commander, and Executioner as they experiment on ancient races before the Dalek Emperor gives them new orders: to destroy Gallifrey before the Time Lords are created.

This is a small but pretty enjoyable piece of the TLV story, and it feels like an important cog in the machine for the final stretch of the event. However, this entire scene appears in All Flesh is Grass as well, albeit slightly altered, and the ending of it spoils the main twist in the novel.

The info bit (‘Dalek Time Commanders’) that precedes the story, mentions the Hond invading Sakro, after the entity was defeated in the Daleks! webcast. Possibly giving an explanation as to why the Daleks had a Hond prisoner in ‘Defender of the Daleks’

The actual story though is set during the novel All Flesh Is Grass, and before the audio Mutually Assured Destruction. As its set on the Dalek saucer.

It begins with torture of an alien, that is kept as a specimen. But the real crux of the story and, mild spoiler, is just the order to destroy Gallifrey.

Some of the information in the magazine is useful and helps to understand the TLV timeline. But otherwise it's pretty redundant.
