Though not physically visible in this moment, its presence looms large in the corridor, symbolizing the Daleks' technological dominance and the humans' desperate need to disrupt it. Barbara's instructions to Jenny—'Try to find the main control panel. Do as much damage as you can'—highlight its strategic importance. The panel remains untouched in this scene, as the Daleks' swift intervention prevents any sabotage from occurring.
