Zygon commander issues final orders

The umbrella, held by Broton during his command directives, serves as both a human accessory and a prop in his disguise. It conceals no immediate function but visually reinforces his aristocratic facade while he issues orders for the spaceship’s systems to close transmissions and open the escape hatch. Its presence adds to the theatricality of his performance as he orchestrates the invasion's strategic pivot before retreating.

After: Still intact, but now implicated in the fraudulence of the disguise as Broton abandons the human masquerade without removing it
