Cleaner Service Lift Concealing Curtains

Heavy, dark gray fabric panels hung in overlapping layers from a ceiling-mounted track, their thick material designed to muffle sound and hide the Cleaner service lift's entrance. The curtains part only when forcibly drawn back by a central cord, revealing access to the hidden lift mechanism. Mel and Pex discover the concealed space after detecting rustling near the Pool in the Sky, their investigation exposing the Cleaner's infrastructure—amplified by the Doctor's confirmation of its purpose during the escalating threat of Kroagnon's lockdown.

Alliance forged against the Caretaker

The Cleaner service lift's concealed entry is revealed through thick, dark gray curtains that are forcefully drawn back by the Doctor to expose the hidden lift mechanism. This action transforms the curtained area from an innocuous corner of the Pool in the Sky into a critical node in Kroagnon's control infrastructure.

Before: The curtains hid the lift entrance, creating the illusion of a solid wall while muffling operational sounds. Positioned to blend with the poolside décor, they offered no indication of their true function.
After: The curtains are parted, revealing the lift's emergence point and exposing the hidden service infrastructure to scrutiny. Their concealment is undone, enabling strategic and tactical responses.
