Titan Infection Alarm System

A shrill, computer-generated alert that pierces the Chancellory’s calm when Leela’s escape triggers automated security protocols. The piercing wail short-circuits rational response, forcing Andred and Kelner to scramble for manual override while Borusa and the Doctor leverage the chaos—Borusa to suspect deeper plots, the Doctor to vanish through a hidden passage. The ringing lingers as a sonic intrusion, its abrupt cut-off marking the moment the Citadel’s defenses expose their vulnerability.
