The narrative assertion

"Tegan’s observational skills in spotting the unnatural phosphorescent light and skeletal remains (Episode 19; cand_evt_scene_b1dcb543b52592b4_1) escalate into her reaction to the TARDIS monitor’s klaxon alarm signaling Cybermen movement (Episode 20; cand_evt_scene_9091889c1dd84d1e_1). The tension shifts from hidden biological signs to active mechanical intrusion."
