Object
Inclined Crash Couch
A reinforced furniture piece angled diagonally against the chamber wall, designed to cradle a body during violent deceleration. Its padded frame bears scuff marks from emergency landings, and its upholstery shows tears where improvised restraints were jury-rigged for survival. The Doctor and Harry use it for partial cover while evading infrared tracking, their weight straining its already compromised structure.

Purpose
Emergency crash seating during high-G maneuvers, repurposed for temporary concealment when primary escape routes collapse.
Significance
Serves as a critical survival asset during the ark’s defense systems activation, representing both the station’s alien hospitality (preservation technology) and its lethal hostility (hostile architectural responses). The couch’s failure under stress mirrors the improvised nature of their resistance.
