Blade's Packing Case (with Plastic Cups)

A suspicious packing case found in the Chameleon Tours hangar, initially examined by Jamie and the Doctor due to burn marks and scorched fibers suggesting hidden evidence. Blade intercepts them, pries it open, and reveals a cache of ordinary plastic cups inside. The cups, though mundane, serve as a planted distraction to discredit claims of alien activity and justify the expulsion of the Doctor and Jamie. The Commandant approves of this reveal, which aids Spencer's escape. The case's contents (plastic cups) are integral to the narrative of deception and conspiracy.
