The narrative assertion
"Lan's preparation of the Nova device—placing it on its base, covering it with a perspex tube, and initiating the countdown—culminates in Agella's report that the device functions perfectly. This escalation in the Movellans' weaponry directly heightens the existential threat to the planet and the Doctor's predicament."
