Rocky Overlook

A low outcrop of jagged stone rises unevenly from the cracked earth along the Dalek City’s perimeter, its surface pockmarked by the same scars that web the surrounding ruins. Bellal presses his back against the rock’s rough face, its uneven ridges biting into his uniform as he crouches beside the Doctor. Between the folds of shifting mineral deposits, tiny flecks of pyrite catch the light in brief arcs, mirroring the quick flashes of Dalek searchbeams slicing through the metallic haze. The rock smells faintly of crushed stone and old gunpowder, the residue of earlier skirmishes soaked into its pores. From this concealed angle the Doctor and Bellal can see the landing site where Galloway and Hamilton load parrinium under Dalek supervision, their silhouettes doubled in the flickering glow of the ship’s loading lamps. Shadows pool deep between the larger boulders, offering just enough concealment to hide the Doctor’s pinched expression as he realizes their chances for escape are narrowing with every crate that boards.
