Pharos Antenna Control Light

The control room’s Pharos Antenna system displays a constant flashing red light on its primary interface panel, pulsing in time with the dish’s alignment to the Charged Vacuum Emboitment. This indicator emerges as the Master’s decoy system fails, revealing its deceptive secondary purpose—part of a camouflage layer hiding the true light speed overdrive. When the Doctor connects the final circuit, the light’s rhythm grows erratic, betraying the Master’s hidden manipulation as the system’s fatal misalignment becomes visible.
