Daleks detect signal and close in

The Mira bushes play a critical role in revealing the presence of the invisible Visians. As Dalek 1 and Dalek 2 scan the area for threats, the bushes rustle and shift unnaturally, betraying the movement of the unseen predators. This movement triggers the Daleks' sensors, leading them to fire blindly into the foliage. The resulting roar of pain confirms the Visians' presence, escalating the tension and forcing the Daleks to adjust their tactics. The bushes serve as a visual and auditory cue, heightening the sense of danger and the group's vulnerability. Their involvement underscores the dual threat the fugitives face: the Daleks' organized hunt and the Visians' primal, invisible predation.

Before: Undisturbed but dense, providing cover for the invisible Visians. The foliage is thick and misty, obscuring vision and heightening the sense of unease.
After: Disturbed by Dalek fire, with scorched patches where energy blasts struck. The Visians' presence is confirmed, and the bushes no longer provide safe concealment for the predators or the fugitives.
