Object
Final Pipe of the Eye of Harmony
A massive metallic conduit wrenched from the Eye of Harmony's containment vessel, its surface etched with Gallifreyan glyphs and scorched from the Master's violent extraction. The dais's activation mechanism is embedded within this pipe's core; the Master grips its gleaming end like a weapon, channeling Rassilon's star's power through its ancient circuitry. The Doctor fights to reinstall it before the Panopticon's foundations fracture—its removal triggers cascading structural failure across the vault.

Purpose
To regulate the flow of energy from the Eye of Harmony's superstructure during activation and containment procedures.
Significance
It is the linchpin of the Eye's power control system. The Master's removal destabilizes Gallifrey's cosmic equilibrium, forcing the Doctor to reinstall it under extreme pressure to prevent reality's collapse. Its breach and subsequent re-sealing encapsulate the episode's central conflict between creation and annihilation.
