The Nuton Complex office is a claustrophobic battleground where institutional power is violently redefined. Its sterile, bureaucratic walls—usually a space for orders and strategy—become the stage for a confrontation that exposes UNIT’s rot. The desk, phone, and chairs are mundane objects repurposed as tools of conflict: the Brigadier uses the phone to fight for truth, while Harker’s pistol turns the office into a cell.
