Refinery Transport System

An ancient Peladonian transport mechanism embedded within the refinery’s lower levels. The system consists of flickering control nodes and pitted metallic slabs embedded in the stone floor, humming with residual energy when activated. As the Doctor chants over the console, the platforms surge with crimson light, forming tendrils that coalesce into Aggedor’s spectral form. The Ice Warriors recoil as the air shimmers, the statue materializing with a roar of superheated plasma that liquefies their armor. Gebek’s men watch in awe and terror as the refinery itself seems to exhale the legend back to life.

Doctor summons Aggedor to defend Peladon

The refinery’s ancient transporter system is activated by the Doctor through a series of levers, channeling energy from a storage alcove deep within the refinery. The system vanishes Aggedor from its resting place and later re-externalizes it, where the creature’s searing heat ray vaporizes two Ice Warriors in an instant.

Before: Dormant, embedded within the refinery’s lower levels, waiting for a resonant trigger

After: Activated and operational, its components flickering with residual energy after use
