Crushed Dandelion Evidence

Evidence consisting of a dandelion stem, leaf, and flower head flattened by immense pressure at the perimeter security checkpoint of Emmett's Electronics Facility. The selective destruction of vegetation—including deep compression marks on the flower head and fibrous pulverization of the stem—serves as empirical proof of a rogue robot's presence and mass. The crushed remains remain pristine in color but grotesquely deformed in shape, becoming decisive evidence that shifts narrative focus from ecological minutiae to immediate crisis response within UNIT's ranks.

Doctor deduces crushing robot weight

The crushed vegetation—a dandelion stem and yellow head—serves as the Doctor’s forcible exhibit, flattened under mechanical tread. Its compressed fibres become a quantitative proof of pressure equivalent to a quarter-ton step, turning botanical ruin into irrefutable forensic testimony.

Before: A healthy dandelion growing upright amid undisturbed grass near the electric fence.

After: Pulverised and flattened, its petals splayed unnaturally, held aloft by the Doctor as physical evidence.
