Doctor and companions investigate alien interferometer

The Doctor references time curve circuits as essential to the interferometer’s function, suggesting their retrieval from the TARDIS to probe the ship’s temporal capabilities. Though not physically present in this chamber, their mention reframes the alien interferometer as potentially capable of time manipulation, elevating the crew’s urgency.

Before: Stored aboard the TARDIS, compact and temporally sensitive, awaiting retrieval as per the Doctor’s plan

After: Still in the TARDIS but now contextualized as critical components for activating the interferometer’s temporal functions

Nyssa takes readings beyond the ship door

The time curve circuits are identified by Nyssa as essential components needed for their immediate task of adjusting the interferometer for external readings. Adric is instructed to retrieve them from the TARDIS, marking them as a critical resource shifting from storage to active use.

Before: Contained and stored securely within the TARDIS, presumed ready for use due to Nyssa's immediate recognition of their need.

After: Retrieved and in transit to the chamber, moving from the TARDIS to the alien ship's interior for deployment.
