Doctor entrusts Flast with the sonic lance

In a desperate bid to neutralize a Cyberman guard and disrupt the Cybermen’s temporal plans, Flast and the Doctor devise a strategy using the volatile vastial explosive.

This act transforms Flast from a prisoner into the group’s primary weapon, shifting the mission’s burden onto her shoulders.
