Daleks' Prison Cell (Galactic Council Detention)

A confined Dalek prison cell holding the Galactic Council captive during the Dalek invasion.

Celation broadcasts desperate pleas for release over comms, while Steven demands the Doctor's location and accuses Mavic Chen of Dalek collusion. The space serves as a focal point for resistance planning and betrayal, with unseen security measures locking the prisoners in isolation. Narrative tension builds through the unknown layout, fueling Steven's urgency to act despite Sara's warnings of traps.
