Peri seized by native captors

The rubble on the abandoned platform serves as a physical hazard that Peri encounters after the Doctor leaves. Her stumble over broken concrete and metal chunks forces her to retrace her steps along the platform, inadvertently leading her directly into the ambush. The debris’s disarrangement mirrors both the station’s decay and her compromised safety.

Before: Loose, jagged fragments scattered across the platform from years of decay and collapse.

After: Still littered on the platform, having contributed to Peri’s unsteady movement into the trap.
