Yates' Failed Counterattack Grenade
A standard military fragmentation grenade deployed in Yates' desperate final gambit against the Master's temporal disruption machine. The grenade is a small, olive-drab cylinder with a serrated fragmentation sleeve and a prominent safety lever painted in yellow. Yates hurls it with futile force against the machine’s housing, his aim betraying either panic or overconfidence. The grenade detonates harmlessly with a muted pop against the reinforced bulkhead, its failure immediately visible in Krasis' exasperated reaction and the Master’s smirking dismissal. The spent casing clatters to the floor, its exploded remains leaving only a scorch mark before the flying bomb's arrival renders further resistance futile.
