UNIT Nuclear Missile Launch Pad (and Crane System)

The launch pad and associated crane system at the UNIT missile base anchor and facilitate the removal of a nuclear missile. Sergeant Benton coordinates the team's efforts to remove the missile, citing tight schedules and prior commitments, while Lieutenant Yates overrides these concerns with sharp commands for instant action. The crane system, which hoists the missile from the launch pad, malfunctions—jamming gears or hydraulics—halting removal and exposing Yates' unnatural push for haste tied to the Master's plot. Benton's crew works amid the pad's stark machinery, fueling friction that reveals Yates' ulterior motives. The Doctor and Chin Lee walk past the scene oblivious to the urgency, while the Master's chauffeur observes from afar.
