Doctor calls the Garm for aid

The Doctor uses the signalling device to emit a sharp blue-white pulse into the void after Kari prompts him, drawing the Garm’s spectral form across light-years. The device’s energy crackles with electrical intensity, momentarily illuminating the Forbidden Zone as the creature answers the summons.

Before: Resting in the Doctor’s palm, inactive and ready for use.
After: Recent activation leaves it dim and discharging residual energy, temporarily drained.

Nyssa confronts Olvir at her door

The Doctor activates the signaling device, emitting a beep that cuts through the Forbidden Zone’s hum. This auditory cue directs Olvir’s attention toward Nyssa’s recovery chamber and sets the coordinated sabotage in motion, linking the Doctor and Kari to Olvir’s chaotic assault.

Before: Currently in the Doctor’s hand, idle until activated for communication.
After: Activated and emitting the beep, having served its communicative purpose in triggering Olvir’s movement.
