Survey Unit Decontamination Chamber

The decontamination chamber is a symbolic and functional space in this event, representing the Dulcian survey team's adherence to protocol despite the lack of actual contamination. The Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe are confined within it under the false assumption that they are radioactive, only to emerge unharmed and dry, except for the Doctor's damp coat. The chamber's role is to highlight the absurdity of the Dulcian narrative, as the zero radiation readings render the decontamination process unnecessary. Its atmosphere is sterile and clinical, reinforcing the institutional rigidity of the Dulcian survey team.
