Doctor marks cursed Viking warriors on tombs

In the dim confines of the crypt beneath the naval base, the Doctor solemnly carves the names of ancient Viking warriors lost to a forgotten curse. The act transforms abstract danger into tangible ritual, sealing his own role as an interpreter of doom. As the chisel echoes against stone, the names of Asmund, Grimvald, Torkal, and Halfdan join the whispers of the past. The ritual’s gravity compounds the threat distilled in his earlier prophecy of black fog rising from the sea, binding Viking legend to the modern operations unfolding above. The carvings mark territory but also lay claim to fate. key_dialogue: [ DOCTOR: I carve these stones in memory of Asmund, Grimvald, Torkal, Halfdan, brave Viking warriors slain by the curse. ]
