Transmat Control Console

The primary control interface for the transmat system, consisting of a central control panel with manual adjustment switches and status indicators. Located in the Nerva Beacon Secondary Control Room, it features a damaged circuit board due to sabotage (exposed by Kellman) and faint blue lighting. The console regulates the transmat's functions, including a damaged reciprocator component that projects an unstable pale blue energy column when activated. Loose wiring, scorch marks, and the transmat's increasing hum indicate ongoing repairs and system volatility. Interacts with the Fourth Doctor, Commander Stevenson, and other station systems during the transmat crisis.
