Turlough betrays the Doctor for Wrack’s promises

Wrack extends the plank over the hull with deliberate menace, transforming it from a piece of ship’s furniture into a grotesque emblem of Enlightenment’s power. Its ominous extension symbolizes the cost of Turlough’s acceptance—submission to Wrack’s whims and the abandonment of companionship in favor of tyranny. The plank’s appearance underscores Enlightenment as both gift and ultimatum.

Before: Fixed along the hull, an unremarkable fixture used for normal ship operations

After: Extended outward over the void, now a symbol of punishment and Enlightenment’s dark promises

After: Extended menacingly over the void, now active as a display of Wrack’s dominance
