Cyber-Planner Abandons Phase Six

The Power Room Monitor Screen serves as the Cyber-Planner's eyes and voice in the Power Room, facilitating real-time communication and strategic direction. It displays the Planner's transmission, through which the meteorite shower's approach, Earth's operational weapons, and the neutron field barrier are revealed. The screen is the medium for the Planner's abrupt termination of Phase Six and the initiation of Plan Three, demonstrating the Cybermen's reliance on technology to coordinate their invasion. Its flickering glow casts a sterile, authoritative light over the scene, reinforcing the Planner's dominance.

Before: Active and displaying the Cyber-Planner's transmission, with no immediate threats or malfunctions.

After: Remains operational but now serves as the conduit for Plan Three's execution, with Vallance's compliance signaling the shift from direct assault to covert infiltration.
