A human head floats preserved in a glass cylinder, submerged in a murky preservation fluid. The face is locked in a rictus of pain, eyes wide but unseeing, a grotesque trophy of Davros' experiments. The jar sits on a metal table in the laboratory, its contents reacting to Davros' manipulation—its mouth twitches as if attempting speech, a silent testament to the fate of those who opposed the Dalek creator.
