· Time and the Rani Part 3

Rani summons Beyus to her lab

The Rani abruptly calls for Beyus, her sharp authority shaping the sterile laboratory environment. Harsh fluorescents bathe the room as Beyus enters, his obedience immediate but uneasy. The exchange is brief, but the tension simmers beneath the surface—Beyus knows the Rani’s quest is monstrous, yet he has been forced into complicity. The moment plants the seeds of confrontation and sets Beyus on a collision course with his own conscience as the plan to harness the Doctor’s physiology inches closer to execution. key_dialogue: [ RANI: Beyus! ]
