Intelligent Sea Reptile Proof

The Master illustrates his claim with evidence of carnivorous sea reptiles capable of intelligent sabotage, their presence proven through a clawed hand slamming onto the microphone of the sinking SS Pevensey Castle’s distress call. The scaled appendage’s brutal grip crushes the communicator, cutting off the crewman’s terrified scream and leaving the device’s casing permanently warped. Filmed in the dim emergency lighting of the radio room, the scaled skin glistens with unnatural menace against the smooth metal of the destroyed equipment.
