Pithead Underground Shaft
Vertical shaft drops from the pithead control area into the toxic, gas-filled mine tunnels below. Control broadcasts orders for the day shift to enter this deadly space for urgent maintenance amid lethal fumes that kill workers daily. The Doctor and Polly watch the command from the colony control room, grasping the peril as Polly and Jamie later descend in flimsy gas masks under Officia's enforcement, protesting the colony's brutal labor demands.
