S11E12 · Death to the Daleks Part 2
Galloway assumes command under fire

The ochre sand dune becomes the final refuge, its slopes shifting under movement. The group presses against its windward side, using the mound as a blind from witching Exxilon arrows sail past. The sand’s heat softens underfoot, betraying instability, yet offers the only illusion of safety before surrender.
