Sacrificial Chamber Wall

A cold, metallic surface scarred by centuries of ritualized violence. The wall’s corroded alloy plates absorb sound unevenly, muffling the Doctor’s shouts into a hollow reverberation. Romana stands against it, her arms stretched taut above her head by a single jagged metal clamp that has gouged furrows into the unmoving surface. The air reeks of ozone and dried blood, the scent clinging to the ship’s hollowed-out compartments where past victims were left to wither. Flickering emergency lights cast long shadows across the curved hull, illuminating the wall’s structural seams that split the plating into ancient segment slabs, each one bearing faint etchings—symbols of offerings made and lives lost.
