Object
Viking Warrior Costume
A heavy fur-lined tunic with embroidered wolf's head emblem at the chest, paired with thick leather bracers and a horned helmet displaying tarnished silver mounts. The costume's wool lining carries the scent of damp wool and old sweat, while the horned helmet's weight shifts noticeably with each frustrated movement. The Doctor struggles to fasten the oversized buckles, his fingers fumbling with the costume's unfamiliar clasps as he tests each absurd ensemble with growing desperation.

Purpose
To serve as a disguise for the Doctor's post-regeneration disorientation, allowing him to momentarily delay the mission's urgency through increasingly ridiculous costume changes.
Significance
Reveals the Doctor's compulsive behavior immediately following regeneration, where costuming becomes a substitute for processing recent trauma. The Brigadier's growing irritation at the delay highlights the strain between the Doctor's disoriented state and the immediate threat of the robot theft.
