Daleks abandon Spiridon in collapse

The reinforced glass panes of the observation windows serve as the first breach points for the liquid ice, transmitting the destructive tide into the command space. As the ice rises outside, the windows reflect the Supreme’s terminal gaze and frame the void beyond, transforming from functional barriers into grim mirrors of annihilation.

Before: Sealed and reinforced, designed to withstand extreme pressure and allow observation of external operations
After: Compromised by thermal shock and mechanical stress; shattered in places, allowing ice to pour through jagged openings and accelerate the room’s flooding
