Stangmoor Prison Control Room Security Monitor

Fixed electronic screen in Stangmoor Prison's control room displays remote figures for urgent exchanges. The Axon Man materializes on it to issue the 72-hour Axonite activation deadline, prompting the Doctor's sarcastic validation of Chinn's containment amid Jo and Chinn's presence. Later, the same monitor shows the Minister reprimanding Chinn for the security breach, forcing global Axonite distribution orders. The Doctor faces it again as the Axon Man demands Time Lord time travel secrets, exposing the aliens' space-time ambitions. Prison staff monitor visuals and audio, bridging distant threats to on-site decisions.
