Space Liner Door Pry Bar

A sturdy metal bar used by Tegan to force open the space liner's exterior door. The bar's leverage against the warped metal reveals the liner's hidden hostility as unseen forces react violently to the intrusion, yanking her backward when she pries too wide. The strained groaning of stressed hinges underscores the door's resistance to being opened.

S20E13 · Terminus Part 1
Tegan seized by unseen force in corridor

Tegan uses the pry bar as a lever to force the space liner’s door open just enough to create a narrow gap. The door responds with strained groans, its warped metal barely yielding before unseen forces seize the opening and snatch at her. Turlough’s brute strength becomes the counterforce as he pries the door wider to rescue her, the pry bar lying abandoned beside the struggle.

Before: Sturdy but warped from decades of disuse, the door is locked in place and resists initial attempts to open.
After: The door is forced open just wide enough to permit Tegan’s partial escape before it groans shut again, sealing the corridor’s darkness behind a thin seam.

Before: Present near Tegan prior to her attempt to lever open the door.
After: Dropped or abandoned as the attack interrupts her plan.
