Corwyn's Technical Forensic Report on the Rocket's Role in Station Failures

A forensic/technical report analyzing Bernalium corrosion, air pressure fluctuations, and meteorite storms to prove the rocket is sabotaging the Wheel station. Distinct from medical or personal documents.
2 appearances

Purpose

Prove the rocket triggers station malfunctions through timed correlations and material failures like Bernalium sabotage

Significance

Disputed clue exposes rift between Corwyn's data-driven suspicions and Bennett's denial, leaving the station exposed as Cybermen advance via the rocket

Corwyn’s Evidence Rejected by Bennett

Corwyn’s compiled evidence serves as the narrative and dramatic linchpin of this event. She presents it as a logical sequence of anomalies—temperature drops, air pressure fluctuations, meteorite storms, and Bernalium corrosion—all tied to the rocket’s arrival. The evidence is treated as a 'smoking gun' by Corwyn, who argues that the timing of these events (particularly the Bernalium sabotage coinciding with the meteorite storm) proves the rocket is the 'basis of all our troubles.' Bennett, however, dismisses it outright as 'emotionally-based fantasy,' refusing to connect the dots. The object’s role is to expose the institutional denial at the heart of the station’s crisis, with Corwyn’s evidence acting as a catalyst for conflict and a foil to Bennett’s inertia.

Before: Corwyn has already assembled the evidence in her office, organizing it into a coherent case linking the rocket to the station’s anomalies. It exists as a physical and intellectual tool—data logs, temperature readings, pressure reports, and Bernalium corrosion patterns—ready to be presented to Bennett.
After: The evidence remains physically intact but is emotionally and narratively repudiated by Bennett. His dismissal leaves it unresolved, reinforcing the station’s vulnerability. Corwyn’s frustration suggests the evidence will continue to be a point of contention, potentially driving her to seek other allies (e.g., the Doctor) to validate her claims.

Bennett dismisses Corwyn’s evidence

Corwyn’s compiled evidence—linking the rocket to temperature drops, air pressure fluctuations, meteorite storms, and Bernalium corrosion—serves as the intellectual battleground of this event. She presents it as a logical case, treating the data as objective proof of the rocket’s threat. Bennett, however, sweeps it aside as 'emotional fantasy', rejecting her methodical approach in favor of his institutional skepticism. The evidence’s narrative role is to expose the conflict between logic and bureaucracy—Corwyn’s reasoned warnings clash with Bennett’s paranoid dismissal, highlighting the station’s fatal flaw: its failure to adapt to emerging threats.

Before: Assembled and ready for presentation. Corwyn has cross-referenced multiple anomalies to build a cohesive argument, but Bennett has not yet seen it. The evidence is compelling but unacknowledged, leaving the station vulnerable.
After: Dismissed and disregarded. Bennett’s refusal to engage with the data leaves the evidence unacted upon, ensuring the station’s continued vulnerability. The pattern of threats Corwyn identifies goes unaddressed, allowing the Cybermen’s infiltration to proceed unchecked.
