UNIT HQ Security Windows
The reinforced windows of UNIT HQ's temporary holding area are security-grade glass set in metal frames, designed to resist forced entry. Their opaque tint obscures visibility from the outside while allowing internal lights to illuminate the holding cells. When Yates drags the Doctor inside at gunpoint, the clatter of boots on linoleum mixes with the muted hum of window seals keeping external noise at bay. The windows function as both a literal and psychological barrier, reinforcing the Doctor’s captivity while Benton later exploits their position during the staged escape by redirecting attention to the glass’s vulnerabilities.
