S8E14 · The Claws of Axos Part 4

Doctor demands Master’s help against Axos

The Nuton Complex computer banks are commandeered by the Doctor to run complex calculations aimed at countering Axos or facilitating the alliance with the Master. Their immediate availability and the Technician's swift action to clear them underscore their critical role as a resource for the Doctor's strategic planning. The banks serve as a hub for desperate counter-strategy computations, symbolizing the fusion of scientific ingenuity and military necessity in the fight against the alien threat.

Before: Operational but potentially in use by the Technician or other staff for routine tasks.

After: Cleared and under the Doctor's control, repurposed for his calculations to defeat Axos.

S8E14 · The Claws of Axos Part 4

Brigadier establishes UNIT command center

The Nuton Complex computer banks are commandeered by the Doctor to run 'very complex calculations' aimed at devising a countermeasure against Axos. Their role is critical to the strategic planning, as they provide the computational power needed to analyze the alien threat and potentially develop a solution. The Technician's immediate clearance of the banks demonstrates their importance and the urgency of the situation. While the specifics of the calculations are not revealed, their necessity underscores the scientific and tactical collaboration between the Doctor and UNIT, blending alien expertise with human technology.

Before: Operational but potentially in use by other personnel; the Technician is tasked with clearing them for the Doctor's calculations.

After: Under the Doctor's control, running complex calculations to counter Axos's threat.
