Doctor exposes Cybermen infiltration via Bernalium

The crude signal-blocking devices, assembled from metal plates and transistors, are the Doctor's improvised solution to counter the Cybermen's brain-control signals. Their creation is a testament to the crew's adaptability and the Doctor's leadership in a crisis. Though primitive, these devices provide a critical layer of protection, allowing the crew to resist further infiltration and prepare for a counterattack. The blockers' assembly marks a turning point, as the crew transitions from shock and denial to active defense.
