Monk's Sabotage Tool Bag (Including Pencil Laser)
A portable, zippered bag containing specialized tools for TARDIS sabotage, including a pencil laser used by the Monk to fuse the TARDIS lock mechanism on Tigus. The bag is carried externally and operated on the planet's surface during the sabotage. The pencil laser is a slender, pencil-shaped device that emits precise energy bursts when activated, requiring protective eyewear (e.g., dark goggles) to operate safely. The sabotage strands the Doctor, Sara, and Steven on Tigus, escalating the Monk's revenge plot.
