Ian risks exposure to attract survivors

The rock becomes an improvised weapon in Ian’s hands, a tool of survival against the Slyther’s attack. Ian grabs it from within the mining bucket and swings it with force, striking the creature’s claw and repelling it. The rock is jagged and heavy enough to cause impact, serving as a stark reminder of how survival in this environment relies on quick thinking and whatever resources are at hand. Its use is a moment of defiance against the Daleks' oppression, a small but significant act of resistance.

Before: Lying loose within the mining bucket, an unremarkable object among the industrial debris.
After: Discarded or dropped after being used to repel the Slyther, its surface possibly marked by the impact with the creature’s claw. It symbolizes the resourcefulness required to survive in Dalek-occupied territory.
