B Deck Observation Hatchway

A reinforced circular hatchway embedded in B Deck’s corridor wall, its sturdy metal frame slightly warped by the collision. Through its transparent viewport, the damaged scarlet ship hangs suspended in space—its jagged impact points visible against the void. The Doctor and Romana step through it to assess the damage, their boots clanging against the deck plating outside.
