Doctor overhears Master’s mineral deception

The Doctor’s listening device is a compact, high-tech surveillance tool that he presses against the thin wall of the communal mess hall. It amplifies the muffled conversation between Robert Ashe and the Master, allowing the Doctor to eavesdrop on their exchange. The device is crucial in revealing the Master’s true intentions and the fabricated nature of Earth’s mineral crisis, providing the Doctor with the evidence he needs to uncover the Master’s manipulations.

Before: Inactive, stored in the Doctor’s coat pocket, ready to be deployed when needed for surveillance.
After: Active and in use, pressed against the wall, transmitting the conversation clearly before being discreetly stowed away again.
