Doctor manipulates Rago into capsule investigation

The Dulcian Travel Capsule’s seats become a pivotal manipulative tool in the Doctor’s deception. By suggesting their removal could accommodate a Quark, the Doctor redirects Rago’s focus from the Capital to the capsule, turning a seemingly mundane detail into a strategic advantage. The seats’ functional role—providing space for passengers—is repurposed as a narrative device to exploit Rago’s efficiency-driven mindset.

Before: Intact within the crashed capsule on the Island of Death, unnoticed by the Dominators until the Doctor’s suggestion.

After: Now a target for Rago’s investigation, with their removal implied as a potential solution to transport Quarks.
