S8E4 · Terror of the Autons Part 4

Master reveals daffodil invasion plan

The Nestene autojet is mentioned by the Master as his 'small contribution' to the invasion plan. Though not physically present in the lab, its role in the broader invasion is critical, as it will facilitate the Nestene landing after the daffodils create chaos. The Doctor dismisses it as 'vicious, complicated, and inefficient,' reflecting his disdain for the Master's involvement in the plot. This object serves as a reminder of the Master's alliance with the Nestenes and the scale of the impending threat.

Before: Not physically present, but referenced as part of the Master's invasion strategy, awaiting deployment.

After: Still part of the Master's plan, but its immediate use is delayed by the Doctor's intervention.
