Time Energy

The Doctor and Adric's plan centers on the catastrophic release of 'time energy'—a destructive force capable of unraveling the corrupted Source Manipulator and annihilating its controller, Melkur. Unlike conventional energy, this unstable temporal discharge threatens to erase events and individuals from their timeline entirely. The term hangs in the air like a threat: a last-resort gambit where success could collapse not just the manipulator but the fabric of time around them.

Before: Dormant within the Source, poised to be unleashed by forced failure

After: Unchanged in this segment; its release is contingent on sabotaged systems
