Dalek Ship Landing Crater

The landing site is a scarred ferrocrete basin cracked open by the Dalek ship's descent, its edges littered with fresh impact craters still smoking in the thin Exxilon air. The ground trembles sporadically as energy discharges crackle between uneven terrain and the corroded metal debris of past conflicts. Human prisoners move in rigid formation, their boots grinding parrinium ore into the dust while Dalek units hover like metal specters, their lenses tracking every hesitation. Ship exhaust blasts scour the perimeter, sending choking clouds of burnt residue across the staging area where Galloway hides his bomb beneath stolen crates. The air reeks of ionized metal and superheated stone, punctuated by the rhythmic whine of loading machinery and the Daleks' chittering overrides that reduce the captives' movements to clockwork precision.
