Silurian lords trigger Sea Devil revival

Ichtar and Tarpok oversee the culmination of their centuries-old scheme as the containment chamber’s fluid recedes from around the slumbering Sea Devils. Ichtar voices his unease that the planned awakening failed to occur, suspecting degeneration from centuries of forced hibernation has compromised their warriors. Tarpok’s activation sequence begins the irreversible process, a final step toward global conquest that forces the Doctor’s group to confront the escalating threat before it culminates in catastrophe. key_dialogue: [ TARPOK: We are ready to begin, Ichtar. ICHTAR: Good. For hundreds of years our Sea Devil brothers have lain entombed, waiting patiently for this day. It concerns me that they did not wake up as we had planned in the first place.
