Object
Arsenal Power Ramp to Ground Level
The Arsenal's power ramp is a narrow metal-framed chute with uneven, grated steps leading upward from the cavernous storage levels. Its weathered surface shows scorched patches from previous use—tool marks and scrapes across the rails speak of clandestine descents and ascents. When Taron's lantern beam first catches the ramp's edge in the darkness, its rusted metal groans underfoot with each cautious step. The chute's angle is steep enough to require grip from hands and feet, forcing climbers into a single-file squeeze between the grating and the arched tunnel walls.

Significance
Serves as the climactic tactical advantage in the rebels' plan to collapse the ice tunnels and bury the Daleks, transforming their frozen prison into their doom. Taron's discovery revitalizes hope when Codal's repaired bomb is damaged, proving this concealed route vital for turning enemy presence against them.
