Sevateem Concealed Sonic Disrupter

A compact metallic device lies unsecured in the corridor, its sleek casing gleaming under the artificial light. The weapon emits a persistent mechanical murmur repeating the phrase 'Destroy and be free'—a hypnotic mantra looping through Calib and Tomas' minds as they examine it. Neeva seizes the disrupter moments later, his grip tightening as the same invasive echo infects his thoughts, stripping all three warriors of their free will as Xoanon's telepathic control takes hold.

Leela challenges Xoanon’s divinity with the Doctor

The Doctor uncovers the sonic disrupter from beneath a moss-stiffened rosette plant, identifying it as an advanced anti-‘phantom’ device set on a wide radius.

Leela holds it briefly, her grip tight with dawning realization as she connects the object’s function to Xoanon’s supposed power.
