Temporary Negotiation Boulder

A rough-hewn boulder rests midway between the Doctor and Urak’s forces, its flat top serving as a neutral dais during their tense exchange. The rock’s natural crevices are deep enough to frame the exchange like a makeshift altar, where Faroon delivers the microthermistor and Ikona oversees its transfer. Its presence as undisturbed ground emphasizes the fragility of the Doctor’s negotiation—one wrong move could shatter both the deal and the compromise it symbolizes.
