Jamie and Zoe evade Ice Warrior patrol

The stanchion in the Moonbase corridor serves as a critical piece of cover for Jamie and Zoe during their evasion of the Ice Warrior patrol. It provides a narrow but effective hiding spot, allowing them to remain undetected as the Warrior scans the area.

Its presence highlights the utilitarian design of Moonbase and the desperate measures Jamie and Zoe must take to evade capture.

Before: Fixed in place within the Moonbase corridor, serving as a structural support and potential hiding spot.
