Ian forces Lobos to revive the Doctor

The dome-shaped Morok freezing device is the centerpiece of this confrontation, a cold and unyielding symbol of the Moroks’ control over life and death. It is already in the process of freezing the Doctor, its tubes pulsing with the lethal technology that has brought him to the brink. When Ian forces Lobos to attempt a reversal, the device becomes the battleground for their struggle—Lobos manipulates its switches with reluctance, while Ian watches intently, his weapon trained on the Governor. The device’s ominous presence underscores the stakes: the Doctor’s survival hinges on whether Lobos can (or will) defy the Moroks’ own protocols.

Before: Actively engaged in the second stage of the freezing process, with the Doctor connected via tubes and already deemed 'as good as dead' by Lobos.

After: In an experimental reversal mode, its switches flicked by Lobos under duress. Its fate—and the Doctor’s—remains uncertain, as the process has 'never been done before.'
