Gold's Heat-Resistant Jar

Gold grips the heat-resistant jar filled with mysterious green liquid siphoned from the drilling project's output pipes. The Doctor peers into it during examination, linking the viscous substance to volcanic threats like Krakatoa, while Stahlman scoffs at failed analysis attempts. Sutton, Petra, and others watch as the jar holds the hot, unyielding liquid without cracking, its contents screeching faintly to the Doctor's ear.
