Defensive Exterior Clearing

Village Perimeter Exterior

A windswept clearing of trampled grass and mud stretches beyond the village’s primitive wooden palisade. Torches flicker in iron brackets, casting long shadows as the Doctor and Leela huddle around a jury-rigged device of copper coils and glowing vacuum tubes. The air smells of damp earth and ozone, the only light coming from fire and the cold blue glow of the failing gadget. Beyond the immediate circle of torchlight, the forest looms—a wall of gnarled trunks and dense underbrush that presses against the settlement like an impatient predator. The distant crackle of unseen creatures punctuates the silence, each sound making Leela’s fingers tighten on her knife.
