Area Q Transom Sign
A clean, industrial placard affixed above the transom doorway leading to Area Q. The sign consists of bold, white lettering on a metallic backing, its surface etched with the station's standardized symbology. The Doctor and Harry notice it immediately upon entering the transom, marking a secure boundary within the ancient alien ark's sterile corridors. Its stark clarity contrasts with the station's otherwise biogenic atmosphere, serving as a human-aligned reference point amid the alien environment.
