Dalek Room Door Sensor

Positioned near the door in the confined room, this sensor links to the Dalek's systems. The Doctor yanks a lead free from it, instantly disabling the device. This cuts the Dalek's surveillance feed and traps it inside, blocking reports or pursuit. Susan coordinates the move while Barbara watches anxiously and Ian struggles to breathe inside his disguise, heightening the escape's peril.
