Hyperion Three Passenger List

An official document or electronic display containing the names and details of passengers aboard the Hyperion Three. The Doctor reviews it at the liner's reception desk, using it to investigate hidden identities tied to his companion's destruction and recent murders. The list appears as either a physical sheet of paper with slightly curled edges or a rectangular PADD with a touch-sensitive interface, depending on the technological context of the setting. Its content is reviewed but not fully deciphered by the characters present.
