Location
Starship Corridor Alcove
Lift Lobby
The lift lobby is a narrow, utilitarian space at the convergence of the Empress’s artificial corridors, its air thick with the constant low-frequency hum of the lift machinery housed directly overhead. The walls, clad in cold metallic panels, reflect the sterile glow of overhead lighting, their surfaces marked by the sheen of repeated use. The space compresses movement into a singular axis—directly toward the lift doors or away down the corridors—leaving little room to linger. Here, urgency echoes unanswered; Romana’s voice cuts through the mechanical drone, her call for the Doctor sharp and exposed, the only human sound in the artificial hush.
