Junk Yard Brick Stack Trap

A precarious pile of weathered bricks scavenged from the junkyard’s debris. The stacked bricks form a unstable but lethal trap beneath the Dalek’s treads, their arrangement carefully balanced by Ace under the Doctor’s direction. Neither the Dalek nor the soldiers detect the concealed threat until the Nitro Nine detonates, sending dust and rubble skyward as the alien machine stumbles.

Doctor's explosives fail against Dalek

Before: The bricks are loosely piled debris, seemingly insignificant, until arranged by the Doctor.
After: The trap is destroyed in the explosion, buried under debris and ash from the blast.
