Andrews unleashes dynamite against Drashigs

The jagged tear in the cargo hold’s hull gapes wider with each explosive shockwave, widening from a hand-sized fracture to a man-high maw of twisted metal. Saltwater sprays inward in violent pulses, converting the breach from a controlled entry point into a catastrophic rupture. Rivets shear under pressure, and the vessel’s integrity dissolves around the Doctor and Andrews like fragile ice under a sledgehammer.

Before: A stabilized but expanding fracture allowing controlled Drashig entry, held in check by structural integrity and emergency plating
After: A catastrophic rupture several feet wide, threatening total hull failure and rapid flooding of the cargo hold

Before: Ragged breach in the reinforced hull door, saltwater lapping at its edges
After: Unaltered but functionally sealed by Jo's abortive escape attempt
