Doctor devises War Machine trap under pressure

The roads around Covent Garden Market are repurposed from mundane thoroughfares into critical tactical tools. The Doctor’s plan hinges on their closure to funnel the War Machine into the magnetic field trap, transforming the urban landscape into a lethal corridor. The Sergeant’s reports of the machine’s approach and Summer’s logistical concerns underscore the roads’ dual role—as both obstacles to be navigated and weapons to be wielded in the fight against WOTAN’s forces.

After: Designated for closure—Summer and the military must act swiftly to block them, turning the streets into a controlled environment for the trap’s deployment.
