Lobos orders lethal gas attack

The ventilation system in Building 6-2 is the delivery mechanism for the Zaphra gas, turning an otherwise mundane infrastructure into an instrument of death. Lobos confirms its 'standard' functionality with the Guard, ensuring that the gas can be efficiently deployed. The system’s role in the event is dual: it is both a practical tool for the Moroks to execute their order and a symbol of their control over the Xerons’ environment. The rebels’ hiding place is now a sealed trap, with the ventilation ducts serving as the path for their impending doom. The system’s efficiency underscores the Moroks’ ability to weaponize even the most basic aspects of daily life.

Before: Functioning normally, providing fresh air to Building 6-2, where the Xeron youth and the TARDIS crew are hiding.

After: Hijacked as a weapon, now pumping Zaphra gas into the building. Its transformation from a life-support system to a tool of mass paralysis reflects the Moroks’ ability to pervert even essential infrastructure for their own ends.
