Companions' Teleportation Wrist Straps (Time-Travel Devices)

Sleek wrist straps worn by the Doctor and companions—Barbara, Susan, and Ian—on Marinus. These devices enable instantaneous teleportation and time-travel, demonstrated in the reception area after Ian's exoneration. Barbara, Susan, and Ian activate theirs first, vanishing instantly following the recovery of the key from the mace. The Doctor follows, showcasing the devices to Tarron and the Clerk, who are stunned by the sudden disappearances. Ian's wristband, previously impounded during the trial, is returned to him for this pivotal display, confirming the group's extraordinary origins and capabilities.
