Object

Time Ring

Compact bracelet-like device with a three-ended swirl design fits on the Doctor's left wrist. Time Lords provided it on Skaro's battlefield as a link to the TARDIS. Kaled guards seized it at the bunker checkpoint after scanners detected its power. Mutos took it during a surface ambush. Nyder stripped it from the Doctor in a confrontation, stranding the group amid the collapsing bunker. The Doctor reclaims it from Nyder, pressing rebels like Gharman to recover it alongside other items. Its absence distracts the Doctor during moral debates over Dalek sabotage, forcing reliance on Thals and Kaleds for escape.

Return the Doctor and companions to the TARDIS from Skaro

Significance

Acts as the sole escape lifeline from Skaro, amplifying tension when seized by enemies like Nyder or lost in chaos. Symbolizes the Doctor's Time Lord mandate and vulnerability without it, pushing alliances with Gharman, Kavell, and Thals while underscoring the cost of sabotage in the Daleks' premature birth.
