TARDIS Exterior Doorway
TARDIS Console Room (War Lord's Guards Attack)

Door to Chronotis's TARDIS

The exterior door of the TARDIS where Chronotis's vessel meets the void, a narrow portal of dark wood and brass fittings that bears the weight of time itself. Skagra's crew lurks in the unseen gap between ship and nowhere—shadows clinging to the threshold like static electricity before a storm. The door hums with the TARDIS's restless energy, its unassuming panel belying the storms it has weathered across centuries. When the Doctor flings it open, the space beyond isn't just a doorway; it's a confrontation, an invitation to battle inside a universe already tilting under Skagra's grip.
