The Quarry Artefact

The artefact resembles a rough-hewn stone fragment, its surface etched with jagged, glowing veins of electric blue energy that ripple like disturbed water. Pulsing ominously, it emits a low-frequency hum that sets Sarah's teeth on edge, its unnatural glow casting disjointed shadows across the woodland floor. Despite its solid frame, the artefact reacts to proximity—drawing Sarah inexorably toward its core with an unseen gravitational pull before reality twists around her.

Sarah abandoned as TARDIS vanishes

The quarry artefact rests ominously nearby Sarah’s return to the TARDIS, its rough stone surface laced with pulsating electric-blue veins. The artefact suddenly ripples open, revealing a hidden cavity from which an alien hand seizes her limb. Its unnatural glow casts grotesque shadows as Sarah kneels closer, only to be violently throttled by its occupant. The artefact’s passage from object to gateway triggers escalation from curiosity to peril.
