New Earth Spaceship Control Room (with UNIT Contingent)
The control room stands as the nerve center of a New Earth containment vessel during the dinosaur crisis, its walls lined with consoles pulsing with red and amber alerts. Whitaker’s time-reset machine dominates the space, humming with unstable temporal energy as UNIT soldiers in olive-drab fatigues stand alert, their boots planted firmly on the deck plates. The Brigadier and Benton enter with weapons drawn while the soldiers maintain rigid postures with hands on holsters or rifles. One holds a compact submachine gun. When Grover’s temporal eddy activates, it freezes them mid-action in suspended animation, leaving them trapped until the Doctor reverses the effect. Grover and conspirators huddle around displays tracking their genocidal erasure of modern civilization—a plan that collapses when the Doctor reverses the eddy. The air carries the scent of ozone from ruptured temporal fields, the weight of failed history pressing against the room’s bulkheads.

Purpose
Centralized command hub for temporal manipulation experiments and ship operations, with secondary capability as a demonstration theater for validating time-reset technology.
Significance
The space becomes the decisive battleground where temporal tampering unravels—its automated systems turned against their creators. The Doctor’s reversal forces the conspirators into exile, marking the definitive collapse of Finch’s fascist vision and the preservation of causal integrity.
