Controlling Intelligence

Fictional Realm Sustenance and Enslavement

Description

The Controlling Intelligence operates as an unseen, powerful entity that enslaves the Master, reducing him to a puppet in the Control Room. It sustains a fictional realm through a human—specifically an Earthman—with boundless imagination, as it cannot maintain the world alone. The Intelligence demands the Doctor replace the Master as its creative anchor. A glowing globe channels its authority, enforcing submission and escalating coercion when the Doctor refuses. This force drives the central antagonism, stripping agency from captives to preserve its illusory domain.
