Rago authorizes Dulkis exploitation

The Dulkis fuel reserves are the primary target of the Dominators' mission, representing the planet's untapped energy resources buried beneath its thin crust. Rago and Toba discuss the reserves as a justification for their presence, with Rago emphasizing their accessibility and value. The fuel reserves serve as both a narrative catalyst for the Dominators' actions and a symbolic representation of the planet's vulnerability to exploitation. Their mention foreshadows the conflict to come, as the Doctor and his companions will inevitably oppose the Dominators' ruthless extraction.

Before: Untapped and dormant beneath Dulkis' thin crust, unknown to the Dulcians but detected by the Dominators' sensors.
