Doland’s Erased Audiotape

The tape lies curled inside a locked drawer, its magnetic surface visibly wiped of readable content. The Doctor examines it with clinical detachment, confirming Doland altered its recording to conceal his weapon plans. Doland’s frantic attempt to hide it fails as the exposed drawer reveals the corrupted medium—a narrow rectangle of plastic and metal, once capable of storing secrets now rendered void by deliberate sabotage.
