Vortex Shields

The vortex shields form a shimmering energy barrier that bends spacetime around the TARDIS’s intended crossing point. Romana manipulates the controls with precise adjustments, her fingers flying over glowing switches as she stabilizes the unstable temporal link between Chronotis’s vessel and Skagra’s time ship. The shields pulse with unstable violet light, visibly straining under the strain of bridging two fractured timelines. They emit a low hum that sharpens as the vortex collapses, their protective function visibly failing when Clare’s switch overheats, causing the energy field to flicker and tear.
