Doctor challenges masked Professor Lasky

The fire alarm system emits a sharp, rhythmic klaxon when triggered by the Doctor’s action, shattering the corridor’s sterile silence. Its shrill alarm functions as a sonic weapon, stunning personnel and enabling speedy evasion of surveillance. The system’s designed purpose—crisis alert—is subverted to serve a covert manipulation, demonstrating how institutional emergency protocols can become tools of deception when exploited by cunning intent.
