Rocket's Systems
The Doctor assesses the rocket's systems inside the living quarters and declares the ship unpowered and adrift as space flotsam. Jamie ignores the warning at first, focusing on water and signs of life, but the failed systems underscore the crew's unexplained absence and spark the Doctor's suspicions of hidden dangers. Their inert state blocks immediate escape and ties into the TARDIS mercury shortage.
