Ancient Containment Chamber

Sutekh's Tomb

A cavernous Egyptian-style stone tomb dominated by towering pillars carved with Osiran glyphs, their surfaces catching the dim glow of flickering monitor banks. Sutekh's stone throne, inscribed with the same ancient sigils, anchors the chamber, its throne draped in shadows while cold blue screens frame the space with jagged pulses of static. The air carries the scent of weathered limestone and the acrid burn of overheated circuitry, the tomb's thick stillness broken only by the rhythmic hum of servitors and Scarman's crackling voice from wall-mounted speakers. Pulsating light from corrupted displays carves deep shadows across the floor, where the Doctor's prone form and Sarah's unconscious body lay at Sutekh's mercy, the entire chamber a monument to inescapable dominion.
