Villains converge on Spanish hacienda

Chessene, Shockeye, and a Sontaran infiltrate a remote Andalucía hacienda through wrought iron gates to hunt an elderly woman whose mind they intend to exploit. The trio’s arrival underscores their ruthless efficiency and signals the escalation of their personal vendettas into a coordinated scheme. Chessene’s detection of a single occupant and Shockeye’s insistence on manual slaughter reveal their disregard for life and their divergent priorities within the mission. This moment bridges two storylines, linking the space station’s temporal experiments to the villains’ plan on Earth.
