Starship Medical Bay Annex

Dark Sick Bay Room

A small, dimly lit compartment adjacent to the TARDIS control center. Faint emergency lighting casts long shadows across the curved metal walls, the hum of the ship’s engines barely audible. A single bio-bed occupies the center of the room, its metallic surface cold and unyielding. Medical monitors flicker in the darkness, their blue-green glow the only source of illumination. The air smells faintly of antiseptic and ozone, thick with the stillness of an unoccupied space. Romana’s voice cuts through the quiet, sharp with urgency as she realizes the Doctor’s absence.
