Space Station Science Laboratory
Styles' Science Laboratory

Styles' Science Laboratory

A stark, clinical chamber buried in the station's underbelly (specifically within Styles' research facility), its curved walls lined with flickering data terminals that cast an eerie bluish glow over metal benches cluttered with surgical tools and half-dismantled Dalek components. The air carries the sterile burn of ionized circuitry and the copper tang of old blood (and ozone), thickened by the low hum of failing systems. A lone reinforced cylinder sits in an unmarked alcove behind Davros' workstation, its surface reflecting the scattered test tubes of glowing green fluid. The laboratory amplifies every sound—the metallic scrape of a chair, the electronic rasp of Dalek commands, the breath of a trooper scanning the entrance with cold precision. Davros' command throne anchors the room, its magnetic grip holding him in place as he watches surveillance feeds of the Time Corridor and plots his next move. The space is both a command center (in Styles' facility) and a crucible of transformation, where scientific precision collides with ruthless ambition.
