Corridor

Section J

Section J is a utilitarian corridor, its narrow walls lined with exposed conduit and the hum of failing systems. The air carries the sharp ozone tang of broken components mixed with the metallic scent of overheated wiring. Fluorescent panels flicker intermittently, casting jagged shadows across scuffed deck plating where rogue robots circle their prey. The space is narrow enough for humans to feel trapped against the walls, yet it provides just enough room for the Doctor to stage his ambush by leveraging the robots' aggressive instincts. The corridor's clinical gray surfaces reflect the cold precision of the machines that stalk it—until the Doctor exploits their flaw.
