Hazard Lights

Amber LED strips mounted on the roof corners of the TARDIS police box, flashing urgently as the cloister bell sounds. Their rhythmic pulses cut through the misty lay-by as the TARDIS systems destabilize, casting stark moving shadows across the tarmac where the Doctor and Adric prepare to flee.
