Titan Base Emergency Alarm Button

A recessed control button on the Titan Base command console, designed for immediate system-wide alert activation. Its metallic surface carries no markings beyond the functional outline of the button itself, flush with the console’s smooth control panel. The Bi-Al Foundation staff press it without hesitation when confirming the Doctor’s non-human status forces a protocol lockdown. Its activation triggers audible alarms and sealed-ward enforcement, becoming a momentary barrier between Leela and the Doctor during the unfolding psychological assault.
