Kalid summons time-devouring quartet

In a chamber saturated with arcane energy, Kalid stands before a large white globe that pulses with an unsettling glow. He begins a chant, invoking forbidden phrases with deliberate gravity. Evenarab rolls from his lips, deepening the globe’s radiance, then rising to match the arc of its curve. The chant shifts to Tumal, tumal, and the globe’s surface distorts, projecting four looming figures—symbols of impending threats that seem to claw at the edges of time itself. This ominous invocation sets the stage for Kalid’s sinister design, tying directly to the Doctor’s pursuit of the vanished Concorde and the temporal distortions threatening to consume both past and present. key_dialogue: [ KALID: Evenarab. KALID: Tumal, tumal. ]
