Private Mansion Conservatory

Chase Mansion Arboretum

A meticulously maintained glass-walled extension attached to Chase’s mansion, filled with manicured rows of exotic flora suspended in climate-controlled precision. The air hums with the scent of earth and polished metal walkways beneath black-uniformed guards’ boots. Atop the central aisle, laser-sensitive foliage casts dappled shadows across control panels where Scorby monitors movement. The space stretches long and narrow, its far end obscured by dense vegetation—an escape route that vanishes when Scorby’s reinforcements cut it off, leaving the Doctor and Sarah exposed beneath the cold, watchful eyes of surveillance rods.
