Radar Data Storage Banks (Bank A and Bank B)

Located in the Wheel’s Operations Room, these banks store and process radar data critical for detecting meteor storms and Cyberman activity. Their compromise by Cybermen alters readings to mask infiltration, tied to Zoe Heriot’s voice anomaly and Jamie McCrimmon’s investigation.

1 appearances

Purpose

Store and display radar progress data for verifying threats like meteor showers and radiation flux

Significance

Compromised readings trigger voice overwrite, blurring sabotage and possession; Zoe remains detached while Jamie reacts with alarm, deepening infiltration mystery and station vulnerability

Zoe’s voice reveals Cyberman infiltration

The radar computer and its associated data banks (Bank A and Bank B) are the technological backbone of the Wheel’s operations, responsible for tracking celestial bodies and relaying critical information. During this event, they become unwitting participants in the Cybermen’s sabotage, as Zoe’s voice recordings—stored or processed through these systems—are hijacked to replay Jamie’s dialogue. The anomaly suggests that the Cybermen have infiltrated the Wheel’s core data infrastructure, turning routine operations into a front for their infiltration. The lateral grid, another component of the radar system, is referenced in Zoe’s readings, further implicating the entire network as compromised.

Before: Operational, processing and storing scientific data as intended.

After: Compromised, with voice recordings altered to include Jamie’s dialogue, indicating Cyberman manipulation of the system.
