Malfeasance Tribunal Verdict Document

A sealed legal document bound in reinforced parchment with the Celestial Chancellery’s crimson seal. Engin produces it from the Records Room’s restricted vault during a hushed disclosure of the Doctor’s exile history, its contents read aloud to describe the Malfeasance Tribunal’s judgment without ever revealing the Doctor’s unnamed violations. The paper’s edges fray slightly, suggesting age and restricted circulation, while Spandrell’s reaction—visible skepticism over the verdict’s origins—implies its authenticity lies in the unspoken power of the Time Lords rather than any written proof.
