- • That the Daleks’ pursuit suggests a vulnerability worth probing
Overwhelmed by fear yet compelled to obey due to perceived authority
The Thal flees in disarray, their senses overwhelmed by the Daleks’ pursuit and the corridor’s claustrophobic grip. They follow the Doctor’s urgent command without hesitation, their survival instinct overwhelming any tactical thought.
