Commander's Tunnel Quarters

Cramped tunnels double as rough quarters for the Commander and his men, stripped of comforts like proper seating that leaves everyone standing amid the tension. Harsh commands echo off uneven walls as paranoia grips the leader, turning hospitality into treason charges against the Doctor and Ian. Here the Doctor spins lies of Sensorite victory and surface celebrations, preying on delusions to scatter the guards and aid escape. The space pulses with unstable authority, coded glances between companions, and the raw edge of survival in hostile alien depths.
