Distinct from the Master's sidearm; a part of the Master's gauntlet used to manipulate the lunar airlock's inner door mechanism.
1 appearances

Purpose

Mechanical manipulation of airlock controls to gain access or egress from pressurized environments

Significance

The glove becomes the physical conduit of betrayal, the Master's silent tool to reveal his presence while taunting the Doctor and Dale with false safety. It links the airlock's mechanical systems to the Master's personal instrument of control, turning routine equipment into a symbol of his manipulation.

Trapped in the airlock while the Master gloats

The Master’s gloved hand slides over the airlock’s inner door controls, forcibly disengaging the barricade while the Doctor fails to prevent it. The glove’s deliberate motion turns a simple mechanical act into a deliberate act of intrusion.

Before: Gloves were presumably donned earlier to avoid leaving fingerprints or signs of tampering.
After: Smooth synthetic surface contrasts with the rough emergency lighting, emphasizing control and menace.
