'Alternative Betelgeuse'

A peculiar-looking book propped open on Professor Chronotis' cluttered desk. Its spine creaks stiffly when touched, and the pages are slightly warped, suggesting age or moisture damage. The cover features a faded astronomical illustration of a three-headed star system labeled in an unfamiliar script. Romana and the Doctor handle it with unusual care, their fingers hovering over the text as if wary of its latent power.
