Passenger Coveralls and Dark Glasses

The fugitive dons standard passenger coveralls—a dull grey jumpsuit with minimal insignia—paired with oversized dark glasses that obscure sharp facial angles. The fabric clings to the wearer’s movements, designed to blend into the ship’s utilitarian corridors, allowing the figure to slip past casual observation. The glasses distort light subtly, masking the wearer’s identity even in close quarters. Stott first appears in these garments after phasing into the Empress’s projection, using the disguise to evade notice during the Doctor’s chaotic pursuit.
