Cybermen force bulkhead breach attempt

The charges are activated by command and detonated directly against the reinforced bulkhead in a desperate attempt to breach the bridge.

The Cyber Leader demands confirmation of readiness before ordering their use.

Before: Primed and held in reserve by Cyber Control, awaiting final orders.
After: Detonated in rapid sequence, their explosive force compromising the bulkhead's integrity and preparing the way for direct assault.
