Object
Galloway and Hamilton's Improvised Dalek Bombs
Two crude explosive devices of Dalek manufacture, each encased in dull metallic-gray housing marked with their characteristic engravings. The charges have short detonation leads and simple timer switches rigged by Galloway and Hamilton during their ascent of the treacherous mountainside. Hamilton sets one device prominently on the beacon's main support while Galloway secretly keeps a second charge hidden (Galloway's Concealed Sabotage Device) for potential future use against the Dalek ship. The devices are small enough to be carried in one hand but powerful enough to collapse significant structures. The concealed device has a modified configuration with a tampered chronometer.

Purpose
To disable Dalek infrastructure by destroying critical structural or energy components
Significance
The bombs serve as both tools of sabotage and instruments of deception. Their dual use—one planted openly, one concealed—exposes the fractured trust between Galloway and Hamilton and becomes central to the mission's unexpected success. Galloway's hidden bomb ultimately ensures the Dalek ship's destruction, though his trust in it reveals deeper strategic disagreements.
