Daleks ambush Thals in food area

The alcoves lining the walls of the Food Area serve as the Daleks' hiding places, allowing them to remain concealed until the Thals are fully within the trap. The alcoves are recessed and shadowed, providing perfect cover for the Daleks' metallic casings. Their positioning ensures that the Daleks can spring the ambush from multiple angles, cutting off any potential escape routes. The alcoves are not just physical spaces but tactical advantages, turning the Food Area into a deadly maze for the Thals.

Before: Occupied by the Four Daleks, who are motionless and hidden within the shadows of the alcoves.

After: Empty once the Daleks emerge to execute the ambush, though their exact state post-ambush is not detailed in this event.
