Foliage Concealment in TARDIS Pool Area

A dense mass of vibrant green fronds and trailing vines clings to the arched stonework of the TARDIS swimming pool area, providing thick cover for concealed movement. The foliage is lush enough to obscure both the Doctor’s hiding form and the wounded Time Lords he intends to protect from immediate threats, though its effectiveness depends on remaining undisturbed.
