Magnetised Sonic Weapon System (Control Hall)
A makeshift sonic weapon system rigged in the Control Hall of the oil rig, consisting of magnetised speakers/loudspeakers connected to the rig's pipeline network. The Doctor and crew repurpose this system to amplify Victoria's scream—a frequency lethal to the sentient seaweed—into a targeted sonic attack. The setup involves:
1. Magnetised Speakers/Loudspeakers: Physically attached to pipelines to transmit sound waves.
2. Transmitter System: Located below the Control Hall, primed to channel Victoria's scream through the pipelines.
3. Lethal Sonic Output: The amplified scream acts as a 'sonic laser,' destroying the seaweed's nerve center while posing extreme danger to nearby life (foam bursts, evacuation required).
The system is deployed despite evacuation pressures, with Harris committing the crew to the plan as a last resort against the seaweed's mind-control spread and flooding.
