Rago rebukes Toba for reckless destruction

The old atomic drilling sites are uncovered as a direct result of Toba’s atomic analysis, serving as a strategic prize for the Dominators. Their discovery shifts the mission’s focus from the TARDIS to the exploitation of Dulkis’ resources, aligning with the Dominators’ broader goals of conquest and resource extraction. The sites’ existence—marked and now slated for inspection—hints at the planet’s hidden potential, which the Dominators intend to exploit. Their role in the event is pivotal, as they become the next target for the Dominators’ operations, deepening the conflict with the Doctor and his companions.
