Krynoid's Bioluminescent Coherent Beam
A searing, focused shaft of green-white energy erupts from the Krynoid’s ruptured head, its intensity flaring without heat or sound. The beam lances outward like a searchlight, illuminating the surrounding biomass with an otherworldly glow. Henderson and the Doctor flinch as it freezes their instant in distorted reality—time itself seems to buckle around the light’s trajectory. The Major’s presence holds their focus, though the beam’s originator remains the shrieking alien horror above them.
