Object
Hyde's Apartment Ashtray
A modest ceramic ashtray that serves as a structural platform for the Doctor's failed time-flow analogue. Constructed from recycled materials scavenged during the desperate improvisation, its flat surface becomes the base for the chaotic assembly of wine bottles, corks, utensils, and the Brigadier's car fobs. When the Doctor activates the spinning device, the ashtray's stability cannot contain the violent cascade of clattering components, revealing the fragility of their makeshift resistance against the Master's temporal machinations.
