Captain Nemo vs Daleks, who would win?

[pbray]

Today's question to ponder-- if the Daleks invaded an Earth defended by Captain Nemo, would humanity survive? Nemo has the advantages of an undersea base, while the hive mind tells me that Daleks haven't been seen swimming since the Classic Who episode The Dalek Invasion of Earth (1964). But the Daleks have shown the ability to assemble overwhelming armies....

Nemo is the original Steampunk antihero, so I'd like to think that humanity had a fighting chance. And Daleks even look Steampunk in appearance, so they'd fit right in the set of the old films. I'd like to see James Mason* facing off against them.

Alas, I can't bring you Nemo versus the Daleks. But I can offer up a collection of Steampunk vs Aliens stories for your reading enjoyment. Want to know if your favorite authors are on Team Humans or Team Aliens? Visit the Clockwork Universe kickstarter page to find out how you can help make this project a reality.

*James Mason played Captain Nemo in the 1954 film 20000 Leagues Under the Sea.

It would totally have to be Nemo, because James Mason way outranks Daleks on the Hollywood Scale of Hotness. And he's a tragic figure who lost his wife and child to evil slavers. The story would show how he regains his humanity by falling in love with someone who lost her whole family to Daleks... I want this story in the anthology!!!!

I want you to write it! Except for that pesky trademark issue with the Daleks. Hmm, you could file off the serial numbers, or write it anyway and post as a fanfic bonus. Hmm.
