Hostile Alien Forest

Forest on Mira

Planet Mira's forest hides surviving Visians as they flee after Daleks repel their ambush during the battle on the open surface. Dense undergrowth and misty ground swallow their retreat, offering cover from pursuers. Thick vegetation slows movement, amplifies unseen snarls, and breaks tense silences with rustling leaves and hurried steps, as earlier seen when the Doctor, Steven, and Sara evaded slashing predators amid accusations and vulnerability.
