George the Android Double

George is an android replica, built as a near-perfect physical duplicate of a human. Its design prioritizes quiet operation; when the Doctor disables its communication mechanism to conserve power, it falls entirely silent, further unsettling Farrah. The android’s blank unresponsiveness becomes a point of contention, highlighting the team’s growing vulnerability and Farrah’s rising frustration as distrust builds.
