These bulky, protective garments allow the colony’s leaders to move safely through the hazardous terrain, while also symbolizing their authority and separation from outsiders like the Doctor and Ben. The suits’ goggles, pushed up over the head by the white-suited figure when confronted by Bragen and Quinn, add a layer of anonymity and menace. For the Doctor, the absence of such protection underscores his vulnerability and the risks he takes to uncover the truth.
