Filer Attacked by Alien Tentacle

The UNIT mobile HQ becomes the nerve center of the emergency response, buzzing with radio chatter and tactical maps as the Doctor, Brigadier, Jo, Benton, and Yates rush inside. Its confined space amplifies the tension, forcing the team to coordinate quickly amid the chaos.

The arrival of Ministry men adds a layer of bureaucratic scrutiny, highlighting the friction between military action and political oversight.
