Tri-Gamma Circuits

The Doctor points Liz to the tri-gamma circuits embedded in the Central Control console. She bends to inspect their connections and readings, drawing attention away from his concealed repairs to his power supply. These vital components regulate the drilling rig's gamma fields, pulsing faintly amid the room's rising alarms and Stahlman's sabotage.

Covert sabotage and counter-sabotage in Control

The tri-gamma circuits, embedded in the Central Control console, become an unwitting pawn in the Doctor’s distraction tactic. He directs Liz to inspect them, drawing her attention away from his covert actions at the power control panel. Though the circuits themselves are not directly manipulated, their inspection serves as a red herring, allowing the Doctor to execute his plan without arousing suspicion. The circuits pulse faintly, a subtle reminder of the high-energy stakes at play in Central Control.

Before: Functional and embedded within the console, regulating the drilling rig’s gamma fields. Their readings are stable, though the overall system is under strain from the accelerated drilling.
After: Unchanged physically, but their inspection by Liz has served the Doctor’s purpose of creating a distraction. The circuits continue to pulse, reflecting the ongoing tension in Central Control.
