Drathro commands pursuit of the Doctor

Drathro’s systems detect the Doctor’s escape and issue a curt but decisive command through his automated voice. Merdeen, the guard still loyal to the Immortal, acknowledges the order with immediate obedience. This moment shifts the story from passive containment to active pursuit, throwing the Doctor into immediate danger and forcing Merdeen—once merely a functionary—into a role as both hunter and potential rebel. The order underscores Drathro’s ruthless priority to maintain control at any cost and sets the rebels’ fragile hope against the crushing machinery of tyranny that now accelerates into motion.
