Plastic Explosive Integral Detonators (with Van Load)

Small cylindrical detonators integrated into slabs of plastic explosive, their wiring snaking from the main charge to an activation stud. Rachel handles them with caution, acknowledging their volatile nature, while Gilmore loads the rigged charges into a military truck with deliberate speed. The devices are plain metal, devoid of military insignia, designed for one-time use in breaching armored targets. Their proximity to the Daleks' transmat emitter at Coal Hill School transforms them from tools into instruments of calculated destruction under the Doctor's improvised bombing plan. This also includes the bulk plastic explosive payload loaded into a military van - bulky wax-wrapped blocks in jute sacks with government property tags, transported together for the coordinated demolition operation.

S25E2 · Remembrance of the Daleks Part 2
Doctor pushes risky bombing plan against Daleks

Integral detonators are integrated into the plastic explosives, their wiring snaking from the main charge. Rachel handles them with caution, Gilmore loads them into the van with deliberate speed, and the Doctor explicitly orders their use—transforming raw ordinance into instruments of calculated spatial obliteration.

Before: Stored within the explosive payload, small metallic units designed for one-time breaching activation
After: Integrated into the explosive load and secured within the van, ready for immediate deployment and detonation at the target site

S25E2 · Remembrance of the Daleks Part 2
Daleks escalate invasion from Coal Hill School

Integral detonators are loaded alongside plastic explosives into a vehicle during Gilmore’s urgent preparation, providing the precise activation mechanism required for the Doctor’s improvised demoliton plan against Dalek infrastructure.

Before: Stored with plastic explosives as part of UNIT’s ordinance cache.
After: Secured alongside explosives, awaiting deployment as critical components of the assault plan.

S25E2 · Remembrance of the Daleks Part 2
Gilmore reports lost operatives; Doctor demands explosives

Integral detonators, integrated into the explosive payload, are handled with caution by Gilmore and observed by Rachel, marking the transition from inert ordnance to a live, triggered device. These detonators become the decisive component of the mission, enabling the precise destruction required to neutralize the Dalek transmat signal within the school basement.

Before: Stored separately from explosives in military inventory, awaiting assignment to a specific charge.
After: Integrated with explosives into a single payload, positioned inside the van for transport to the target site.

S25E2 · Remembrance of the Daleks Part 2
Mike reports Ace missing at Coal Hill School

Integral detonators are handled with precision by Rachel and loaded with military efficiency by Gilmore, their presence transforming inert explosives into precision instruments of calculated destruction against the Daleks' infrastructure.

Before: Sitting in protective jute sacks, their metallic components gleaming subtly while awaiting integration into the explosive payload.
After: Integrated into plastic explosives and confirmed for imminent deployment, their destructive purpose fully realized.
