Kraals weaponize Harry against Doctor

Styggron and Chedaki put the final touches on Earth’s destruction by testing a bio weapon virus and ordering androids to deploy it. Harry becomes the unwitting gun of the Kraals’ cruelty, meticulously executing orders to lace a water jug with the lethal culture then deliver it to detention cells holding the Doctor and Sarah. The moment escalates tension as it signals not just a simulated English village is in peril but actual human lives across the Kraal ship and eventually Earth itself. key_dialogue: [ STYGGRON: Only one drop. CHEDAKI: Launch countdown commences in sixty minutes, Styggron. STYGGRON: Yes, Marshall. That small phial contains a death sentence for the entire human race. Be careful! ]
