Doctor warns Ace of her turning

The Doctor clutches the pocket watch lid, its alien circuitry whining softly as it reacts to Ace’s proximity and the distortion of her humanity. The lid trembles in his grip, its unstable readings flaring erratically when she moves farther away, becoming the only guide through the corrupted terrain.
