Sevateem Shrine Relics

A cluster of tribal artifacts arranged across the hall, including what appears to be a carved Janis thorn sample the Doctor uses to synthesize the antitoxin. The Doctor handles these objects while interrogating Sevateem origins, and Calib mistakenly offers an incorrect tool before the Doctor identifies the correct one among the relics. The relics serve as both tangible link to the tribe's contested past and functional instruments in the Doctor's moment-to-moment survival.
