Underground Laboratory Isolation Chamber
Sealed containment unit in the underground laboratory that imprisons alien ambassadors disguised as astronauts in Van Lyden suits. The chamber is secured by a heavy security door (Astronauts' Radiation Enclosure) that prevents escape and radiation leakage. Thick barriers allow observation while maintaining containment. Liz Shaw inserts a radiation isotope inside; aliens remove helmets to reveal green-skinned forms. Reegan orders Masters to open the door, releasing the captives for deployment in his conspiracy. Key interactions occur between Doctor, Liz, Reegan, and Masters amid escalating confrontation.
