Doctor and Ace's Eavesdropping Equipment

A jury-rigged electronic countermeasure array cobbled together by the Doctor and Ace, designed to intercept and disrupt Cybermen communications. Its most prominent feature is a handheld volume control the Doctor manipulates to amplify faint signals amid the interference. The equipment's improvised nature shows in its maze of exposed wires and flickering indicator lights, yet it performs with precision when the Doctor cranks the signal through, revealing snippets of Cyber strategic coordination.

After: Volume increased to maximum output capability, indicator lights flickering in time with the disrupted signal, functioning as their window into enemy strategy
