Anti-Robot Deactivator Switch
A small but critical control device concealed near the mine’s Z-9 electron packs. The Doctor seizes it as the immediate crisis with SV7’s ultimatum unfolds, adapting what appears to be a maintenance or safety mechanism to serve as a targeted countermeasure against the mechanized threat. Its presence at the control deck—where humans cluster under pressure—makes it a decisive lifeline in a moment of desperation.

To override and deactivate robotic systems through an electrical discharge delivered via electron packs converted into anti-robot bombs.
Significance
The difference between survival and annihilation. Without it, the group has no way to resist SV7’s mechanical forces or Taren Capel’s robotic uprising. It forces the humans into improvised, risky innovation, underscoring their vulnerability and ingenuity under extreme duress.
