Sonic weapon incapacitates Ice Warriors and humans

The Doctor’s modified sonic gun is the catalyst for the chaos in the Ioniser Control Room. Fired with precision, it emits a targeted frequency designed to disrupt the Ice Warriors’ auditory and neural systems. However, its indiscriminate nature proves its fatal flaw: the high-frequency waves also overwhelm the humans in the room, causing them to collapse in agony. The weapon’s effects are immediate and visceral, leaving both Ice Warriors and humans incapacitated. Its use underscores the Doctor’s willingness to take extreme risks, even when the consequences are unpredictable and potentially catastrophic for allies and enemies alike.

Before: Fully charged and ready for use, held firmly in the Doctor’s hand as he prepares to act.
After: Discharged and temporarily inert, its effects still rippling through the room as both Ice Warriors and humans lie unconscious.
