Unknown Distressed Woman

A terrified woman whose scream cuts through the oppressive atmosphere of the Dark Tower as the Second Doctor and Brigadier ascend its stairs. Her voice is raw with panic, laced with urgency as she pleads for assistance. Though physically unseen in the stairwell's darkness, her presence registers through sound alone—an auditory point of reference that forces the Doctor to acknowledge the threat’s proximity. Her brief vocalization serves as the episode’s first audible humanization of the Dark Tower’s psychological terror, a counterpoint to the Brigadier’s growing sickness.
