Mummified Pilot of the Terminus Bridge

A desiccated human corpse permanently slumped in the Terminus bridge's crew chair, its uniform still fastened with broken restraints. The pilot's body shrivels into stiff leather, limbs bent at unnatural angles against the seatback, while the empty co-pilot position beside it frames the station's ruthless history. Gray dust spills from every crevice as the Doctor's fingers trace the stiffened straps, revealing how quickly life ended for this forgotten operator amid the station's original catastrophe.

The mummified pilot secured in the main seat becomes the grim centerpiece of the Doctor’s investigation pause. Its desiccated uniform contrasts sharply with the modern wear of salvage gear elsewhere on the station, marking a corpse from the station’s original catastrophe.

Before: Strapped motionless into the pilot’s chair, untouched since the fatal evacuation.
After: Unaltered but newly discovered, its presence now an unavoidable narrative weight in the crisis.
