Flannigan activates neutron force-field

The Wheel Station Loading Bay Neutron Force-Field is the decisive element in this event, serving as the station’s last line of defense against the Cybermen. Activated by Flannigan, the force-field halts the Cybermen’s advance, sealing the outer doors and allowing the crew to repressurize the bay. Its activation is a moment of collective relief, as the invisible barrier becomes a tangible shield against the immediate threat. The force-field’s success, however, is bittersweet—it offers only a temporary reprieve, underscoring the station’s ongoing vulnerability and the urgency of the Doctor’s mission to destroy the Cybermen ship.
