Sontaran Time-Space Machine

A metallic aircraft half-buried in the earth near Doña Arana’s hacienda, its wings showing charring from a violent temporal landing. The craft’s design appears modern despite its incorrect location, its fuselage split open from impact. Marshal Stike and Varl use the machine’s communication array to contact Sontaran High Command before Stike coldly initiates its self-destruct sequence, ensuring no evidence remains. The humming console lights die as the countdown begins, a final act of Sontaran secrecy.

S22E8 · The Two Doctors Part 2

Doctor learns of plane crash near hacienda

Although the plane itself is not physically present in the scene, it functions as the event’s key trigger. Oscar and Anita refer to it indirectly through their report of having heard it overhead and seeing survivors near the hacienda. The Doctor’s immediate interest in the crash site reveals his suspicion that the aircraft is a temporal anomaly linked to fugitives and Sontaran activity.

Before: Unseen in the scene but recently crashed near the hacienda, partially buried

After: Still present off-stage as a looming threat to be investigated

S22E9 · The Two Doctors Part 3

Stike destroys the Time Space machine

The Time Space machine, already compromised by its violent temporal landing, becomes the target of Stike’s final act of annihilation. Under his orders, Varl prepares to activate its self-destruct mechanism, transforming the craft from a seized asset into a burial shroud for evidence and personnel. Its fuselage, split open by impact, will soon be consumed by fire and temporal disruption.

Before: A functioning but damaged Sontaran Time Space machine, half-buried in the earth near the hacienda. Its communication array remains intact for final use.

After: Reduced to smoldering debris and temporal wreckage as the self-destruct sequence completes, erasing all forensic traces of Sontaran involvement.
