S21E21 · The Caves of Androzani Part 3
Jek reveals Doctors removal to Major

The Androzani Government is invoked by Jek to justify the supposed abduction of the Doctor to Androzani Major. He frames the mercenaries’ actions as extensions of state paranoia, using Morgus’s regime as both scapegoat and lightning rod for his own twisted grievances.

Active Representation

Propaganda and fear foster an atmosphere where paranoia justifies kidnapping and murder. Control over legal narratives and pseudo-judicial processes allows abduction to be framed as routine ‘security measures’.
