Secker's Smuggling Keycard

A standard magnetic-stripe keycard, clipped to the inside of a luggage compartment lining. It bears Secker’s designation marks and a single blue stripe indicating mid-level security clearance aboard the Empress. The Doctor pries it free to unlock the hidden filing cabinet, revealing a compartment used repeatedly for smuggling—its magnetic strip slightly worn from frequent swipes. K9’s detection circuits confirm traces of Vraxoin residue on the card’s edges, implicating Secker’s involvement in the smuggling operation. The card itself is unremarkable except for its proximity to the illicit cargo.
