Sarah's Beachgoing Sunglasses

Clear-lensed eyewear hastily assembled from spare parts in Sarah Jane Smith's emergency kit, their cracked frames held together with paracord. Intended originally for solar glare on Florana's beaches, they now double as a tactical accessory against Equnox sun exposure during their forced landing on Exxilon. The Doctor pockets them before exiting the battered TARDIS, their improvised straps catching on the console's fractured edge as the ship groans in its final death throes.
