Doctor commandeers Robson’s helicopter

The seaweed foam on the heli-pad is the primary obstacle blocking the group’s initial escape route, forcing them to pivot to Robson’s helicopter. Its presence is a constant threat, symbolizing the sentient seaweed’s insidious control and the urgency of the group’s situation. The Doctor’s focus on Robson’s helicopter as an alternative escape route is directly influenced by the foam’s obstruction, driving the group’s desperate gamble.

Before: Thick and spreading across the heli-pad, coating the primary helicopter and rendering it unusable.
