Remote Isolated Bungalow

Remote Bungalow (Helipad Area)

A remote, isolated bungalow and its surrounding area, serving as a brief haven for the Doctor, Jamie, Victoria, and Astrid after their helicopter crash. The bungalow itself is a lone structure amid vast emptiness, while the adjacent helipad (a bare concrete or dirt surface) becomes the site of Anton and Curly's desperate helicopter escape, which ends in mid-air explosion. Fuel leaks from the punctured helicopter tank heighten peril nearby, while the group's seclusion breeds tension as they weigh explosion risks against escape needs. The area functions as both a residential refuge and a tactical landing zone during the conflict with Salamander's forces.
