Rebel Cave Catapult

A tactical siege weapon hastily discussed in the dim confines of the Rebel Cave. The Doctor and rebel commanders debate its potential as they map their assault on the Tower, recognizing the need to overcome the vampires' supernatural resilience. The catapult isn't just metal and wood—it becomes a symbol of desperate innovation, transforming a simple siege engine into the vehicle for K9's transformation into a tactical asset. The rebels weigh steel projectiles, wooden stakes, and now this ancient weapon against the enemy's unnatural defenses.
