Space Station Defensive Airlock

AirLock 3

The station’s defensive spine becomes the crucible where human desperation meets Dalek ruthlessness. Mercer and Turlough slam through the breached doorway into a claustrophobic chamber ringed by reinforced durasteel bulkheads still shuddering from proximity detonations. Emergency lighting bleeds crimson across riveted walls pocked with impact scars, the rhythmic thrum of failing power coupling with the staccato bark of gunfire beyond new barricades. The air tastes of ozone and scorched metal, condensation beading on ceiling pipes as hull integrity gauge needles flicker toward the red zone. Mercer’s boots crush spent casings while Turlough’s breath comes fast through a breather mask—a space never meant for two figures to move freely, let alone fight. Every stride risks triggering another alarm, every shadow could hide a Dalek trooper waiting just on the other side of the churning mist from hull fractures.
