Reception Room

Doctor and Ben step into this entry space of the lunar weather control centre, where Nils delivers Hobson's summons. Hobson confronts them directly, his suspicion ignited by the Doctor's TARDIS slip, and detains both under a bacteria check pretext. Paranoia grips the air amid base crises—virus outbreaks, Gravitron failures, Earth oversight—turning the room into a tense checkpoint. Hobson's commands isolate the pair, underscoring his total authority before they proceed inward, vulnerability stark under harsh lights and confined walls.
