The drones of the Second Generation seemed more independent and prone to disagreement than those of the First Generation. This was primarily due to the fact that their Dal forefathers managed to alter some of Davros' conditioning modules before it became necessary to enter the casings. Despite this, a pathological hatred for the Thals and indeed any other species different to themselves managed to permeate the Dal psyche over the course of the many generations of their entrapment within the city on Skaro. While disagreements between drones occurred, a common consensus was always achieved as evidenced by the fact that not a single Dalek in the city argued when one declared that:
"The only interest we have in the Thals is their complete extermination"
-- Dalek Leader, The Daleks, Episode 03
Additionally, universal consensus was achieved when discussing the option to turn Skaro into a planet habitable only to the Daleks.
Housed in either Mark Two Travel Machines, or in the case of certain groups re-activated by the First Generation Daleks, Protoype Mark Three casings, there was nothing to distinguish one Dal Dalek from another. Indeed to those outside of the Dalek race, there is little to distinguish a Dal descendant from a Kaled descendant, particularly those Dals encased in the prototype casing. In temprement, these drones were extremely similar to their Kaled counterparts. This became especially true following their re-conditioning and re-activation by the Daleks of the First Generation. Despite this similarity, they were viewed as expendable cannon fodder to the pure Kaled Daleks. While loyal to their own Dalek Supreme rank, they were ingrained with a deeper loyalty to the Dalek Prime – thus assuring no rebellion would occur.
