Slate Cliffside Outcrop

A narrow ledge of dark slate juts from the cliff face, its flat top barely wide enough for two people to crouch behind. The rock’s fine grain and sharp edges bite into fingertips as the Doctor presses Sarah against its surface, using it as a shield against the cybernetic whirr of advancing footsteps. Moisture beads the stone’s surface in the dim light, reflecting the Raston Warrior Robot’s erratic movements as it dazzles their pursuers with sudden repositioning. The ledge’s thin, angled surface is weathered smooth by wind erosion and damp from recent drizzle, offering a precarious path along the cliff face.
