Before: Operational with glowing status screens, unused for deflection.

Doctor halts Quillam transmogrification procedure

The Transmogrification Control Console serves as the central interface for the lethal experiment, its red-fading lights and unmarked switches providing the Doctor and Quillam with tactical leverage. The Doctor seizes control not through dialogue but by discharging the guard's handgun into the console, causing explosions that ignite the immediate workspace. This action disrupts Quillam’s technical monopoly, forcing the room into chaos and preventing further torment.

Before: Operational control hub for the transmogrifier, flashing red alerts synchronized with Peri and Areta’s distress.

After: Shattered by gunfire, sparks erupting from exposed wiring after successful disabling of the bombardment beams.
