The Doctor refines the infiltration plan

The Zarbi creature, though not physically present in this scene, is a looming presence in the discussion. Prapillus requests its use for the diversionary attack, arguing that his knowledge of Zarbi behavior makes him uniquely qualified to control it with the Doctor’s ring. The Zarbi’s role is symbolic here—representing the enemy that must be manipulated to create an opening for the Doctor and Vicki’s infiltration. Its potential use underscores the high-stakes nature of the plan, as even a single Zarbi could turn the tide of the battle if not handled carefully.

Before: Not physically present, but referenced as a tactical asset available for the diversionary attack.
After: Assigned to Prapillus for use in the mock attack, to be controlled via the Doctor’s ring.
