Peri dragged through the Citadel in terror

Peri is torn from her allies and forced down the Citadel’s arteries by a guard who refuses to answer her pleas. Her mounting dread escalates into screaming denial as she senses the Borad’s influence growing stronger ahead. The journey compresses time, turning corridors into a gauntlet where every shadow might conceal the Morlox or Borad himself. This sequence turns Peri’s capture into a living nightmare, her survival now inseparable from the Doctor’s last-ditch plan to sabotage the Timelash before the Bandrils strike. key_dialogue: [ PERI: You're still hurting me.
