Hybrid Uniform Radiation Detector
A compact, military-grade component affixed to the contaminated uniforms of fallen soldiers on Skaro. Its housing shows heavy weathering, with cracked seals revealing internal circuits fused with organic matter from the war’s decaying battlefield. The detector emits a slow, rhythmic pulse rather than the sharp clicks of standard equipment, suggesting it has been repurposed from earlier eras of the war. The distressed casing and mismatched cables hint at makeshift repairs, a visual echo of the planet’s fractured civilization clinging to dead technology.
