Doctor's Distress Note to Sarah and Benton
A hastily scribbled note conveyed by the Doctor from the TARDIS to warn Sarah and Benton about Kettlewell’s hidden robot at his home. The paper bears the Doctor’s urgent handwriting, the ink smudged in spots where his fingers pressed hard or where rain may have touched it during transit. Sarah’s grip tightens on it as she reads, the edges of the page bending where she clutches it with mounting urgency.
