RAF confirms impenetrable barrier

The RAF Phantom jet streaks overhead, its roar a distant but ominous backdrop to the radio transmission. While not physically present in the scene, its role is implied through the pilot’s report, which details the jet’s failed attempt to breach the barrier. The Phantom represents the peak of human military technology—fast, advanced, and lethal—but its inability to penetrate the Master’s defenses underscores the futility of conventional warfare against this threat. The jet’s presence (or absence, in this case) is a stark reminder of the limits of human ingenuity in the face of cosmic power.

Before: In flight, armed with a test canister, approaching the barrier at high altitude

After: Returning to base or repositioning, its mission a failure, with no further attempts planned
