Daleks abandon Spiridon in collapse

The liquid ice surges through the observation windows in shimmering tendrils, solidifying instantly on contact with metal and rock, encasing consoles and platforms in an unstoppable tide. It rises along the walls in waves, disabling power conduits and smothering the chamber’s failing life support systems until the entire command space becomes a frozen tomb.

Before: Contained beneath the planet’s surface as a geothermal phenomenon, visible only through observation windows as an external hazard
After: Breached the chamber, flooding control systems, freezing DalIek machinery, and rendering the Supreme’s command platform inoperable, filling the room to critical levels
