Object
SIDRAT Time Machine
Alien time machine (also referred to as the 'SIDRAT Control Panel' in its operational interface) parked in the SIDRAT landing bay. The War Lord adjusts its control switches to prepare for departure or monitor the bay amid rising tensions. The Doctor later operates the control panel to power up the ship, dematerializing with Jamie, Zoe, and Carstairs to escape to the 1917 Zone, leaving Villar and Russell behind as they accuse him of betrayal. The machine's activation marks the collapse of the alliance and the Doctor's final escape from the War Lord's stronghold.
