Jenkins' Five Rounds

Jenkins fires five bullets from his service rifle at Bok on the village green under the Brigadier's direct order. The rounds strike the gargoyle-like servant but produce no effect, ricocheting harmlessly or dissolving against his invulnerable form. Yates watches warily after the rock-vaporizing display, while the Brigadier stands firm despite the failure. This volley marks UNIT's first armed test of Bok's daemonic resilience.
