Tailor's Dummy Decoy
Mannequin dressed in human clothes stands motionless in the museum hideout. Dalek rolls up, plunger extended, and demands answers from it, mistaking the wooden prop for a live resistance fighter. Barbara, Dortmun, Jenny, and the Doctor watch tensely nearby as the Dalek prods the dummy, its eyestalk scanning the silent figure before frustration builds.
