His body, clad in torn environmental gear, appears stretched thin over bone, every fluid drawn out by the planet's invisible horrors. The Doctor kneels beside the remains, his expression grim as he pieces together his terrifying theory about Zeta Minor's lethal mechanisms. Sarah stares in horror, her body still humming with the lingering effects of the energy drain she barely escaped.
