Romana’s Sacrificial Room

A self-contained TARDIS control module decorated with Romana’s personal quarters—velvet drapes, a small writing desk, and a shelf of Gallifreyan manuscripts—now straining against unseen gravitational forces. When the Doctor triggers its ejection, the room tears free with a rent in the TARDIS’s coral-like walls, leaving a jagged gap and a chorus of metallic screams as the console room shudders. Adric’s eyes widen as the Bay 3 hatch yawns open, offering Romana’s room to the void before the TARDIS lurches violently.
