Object
Scorby's Restraining Chairs
Two sturdy armchairs pulled close together, their wooden frames upholstered with worn dark fabric that strains against Scorby's rough bindings. Coarse ropes loop around the Doctor's and Sarah's wrists, pinching their skin as they struggle against their restraints during interrogation. The chairs creak under shifting weight, betraying the tension of the scene as Scorby leans in to extract information about the alien pod.

Purpose
Mechanical restraint to immobilize prisoners during intense questioning
Significance
These chairs become the fulcrum of the scene's power dynamics—Scorby's preferred instruments for exerting control through fear, transforming a domestic space into a torture chamber and forcing the characters to confront their vulnerability before the greater alien threat can be addressed.
