Not the whole station, just one room. Whenever something magical happens
(which should be easy enough to spot even for a watcher, just by watching
the light show on the astral plane), calling for reinforcements wouldn't
be that difficult either.

Provided the order is carefully worded, of course. (Not that I propose to
handle this like an AD&D Wish spell would be, but magicians should pay
attention to what they tell a watcher to do.)
