Leela and K9 confirm the escape route

Leela moves swiftly through the correction centre’s sterile corridors with K9 at her side, tension sharpening every step. The Doctor’s survival depends on pinpointing his exact escape path, but one misstep could mean Mandrell’s patrols sweep them up before the Doctor even reaches safety. K9’s sensors isolate the precise entrance the Doctor passed through, validating the route as their only viable option. With Gatherer Hade’s forces tightening around the facility, this confirmation gives Leela the crucial intel she needs to press forward before the rebellion’s fragile lifeline is severed.
