Top of the Laboratory Steps
Cold stone steps lead up to a narrow platform where a bishop's statue stands watch over the laboratory's entrance. The atmosphere is charged with the scent of ozone from recent violence and the acrid tang of burnt electronics. Emergency lighting casts long shadows across the worn marble, and the polished brass of the statue's mitre gleams dully in the flickering glow. The steps descend in shallow stages, each one worn concave by centuries of hurried footsteps, their surfaces slick with condensation. At the platform's edge, Davros' electric bolt strikes with a crackling blue fury, illuminating the space in violent strobes as the air ionizes and the statue's hollow eyes seem to watch the unfolding brutality.
