Salvation Expedition Devices

The devices appear as a set of unspecified scientific instruments clutched by members of the Salvation Expedition team. They are functional tools without obvious specialized features—boxes with dials and switches, wires trailing toward data pads. Sorenson handles them with practiced efficiency, relying on their readouts to mask the expedition's desperate reality. Vishinsky ignores them, consumed by the disappearance of personnel instead.

Before: Stored aboard the Morestran vessel, ready for deployment; functional and untested in Zeta Minor’s environment

After: Attached to the TARDIS; functionality unknown but implied to be active, contributing to Sorenson’s observant caution
