Silurians march on Sea Base bridge

Sauvix leads his Silurian warriors forward after reporting the path clear. Their advance toward the Sea Base bridge signals a direct challenge to the Doctor’s attempt to stop the Myrka and to Vorshak’s beleaguered command. If the aliens secure control of the bridge now, the proton missiles and the base’s core systems will fall into enemy hands. The Doctor’s improvised plan to blind the Myrka no longer buys critical time—humanity’s fragile position crumbles further with each step. key_dialogue: [ SAUVIX: The way to the bridge is cleared. ]
