Damaged Motive Units of the Sandminer
The motive units, a pair of critical propulsion components mounted on the Sandminer’s underside, sustain damage when Dask cuts the vessel’s zeta links to halt its catastrophic descent. Their failure triggers cascading system alerts as hull pressure rises and life support falters. The Doctor’s desperate repair operation focuses entirely on these units, requiring direct access to the damaged sections while the crew contends with failing systems and emerging sabotage.
