Peri screams for Doctor in cavern depths

Peri dashes through the cavern’s tight passages, her torchlight flickering over jagged rocks and deep shadows. Captured by Borad’s guards and dragged to this subterranean prison, she wrests free just long enough to scream for the Doctor before a Morlox corners her against the cavern wall. Her panicked shouts pierce the darkness, exposing the immediate danger she faces and the fragility of their mission so far from the Time Lord’s control. Each cry for help forces the Doctor to weigh his moral duty to Peri against the survival of two civilizations, tightening the vise on his impossible choice. key_dialogue: [ PERI: Doctor, where are you? Help me! Not you. ]
