Vervoids Swarm Liquid

Amber-tinged fluid seeping from the Matrix projection as the Valeyard triggers the disputed evidence. The substance coats the screen in jagged streaks, pooling and dripping in slow motion as if suspended in the air itself. Characters react with visible unease—the Inquisitor’s tone hardens, the Doctor’s resolve falters under the weight of its implication, and Mel immediately identifies it as an illusion meant to manipulate his gallant instincts.
