Doctor allows Daleks to claim Hand of Omega

The Hand of Omega is not physically present in the staircase confrontation but serves as the conceptual anchor for the Doctor’s entire deception. His dialogue frames the device as the critical prize the Daleks must claim, justifying the Doctor’s willingness to surrender control of it.
