Flannigan Blocks Jamie and Zoe

The Silver Carrier Rest Room Door serves as both a physical and symbolic barrier in this event. Physically, it is the point of contention where Jamie and Zoe attempt to exit, only to be blocked by Flannigan. Symbolically, the door represents the station’s bureaucratic and security-driven culture, which prioritizes control over responsiveness. Its locked or guarded state mirrors the broader institutional failures that allow the Cybermen’s sabotage to go unchecked, trapping the companions in a space where their instincts to help are rendered useless by protocol.

Before: Closed and accessible only under normal circumstances, but now guarded by Flannigan, who enforces its closure.

After: Remains closed and guarded, with Jamie and Zoe still trapped inside the rest room, their attempts to leave thwarted.
