S21E11 · Resurrection of the Daleks Part 1

Station’s last stand crumbles under Dalek fire

The deflector shield’s failure is reported amid the assault, rendering the station defenseless against the Dalek battle cruiser’s lasers.

The shield’s absence underpins the crew’s impotence and accelerates Mercer’s brutal directives.

Before: Active defensive barrier, shimmering faintly along its perimeter, repelling external attacks.

After: Collapsed entirely, leaving the station vulnerable to boarding and annihilation.
