Strange Trees

The TARDIS monitor flickers to life, revealing an unfamiliar landscape of strange, twisted trees under a foreboding sky. Gnarled branches cast deep shadows across the ground, their unnatural forms filling the crew with dread and disorientation. Ian and Barbara stare in silence as this ominous vista confirms their stranding, the spiked radiation readings amplifying the sense of hidden peril just beyond the doors. No familiar landmarks appear, only this eerie expanse signaling the Doctor's failed navigation.
