Object
Stolen Dalekanium Explosive
A compact slab of unstable, violet-glowing Dalekanium salvaged from Dalek technology by rebel operatives. The material hums with barely contained energy, arcing between exposed terminals along its edges. Cracks run along its surface like lightning, emitting a sickly neon glow that reflects the desperation of its handlers. Jo Grant handles it gingerly, acutely aware of its volatile nature, while Shura clutches it as her only hope against the Dalek incursion. Its weight seems heavier than its size suggests, betraying the lethal potential packed into its small form. The device is a crudely constructed but brutally effective explosive fashioned from this Dalekanium slab, its metallic casing etched with time-worn glyphs. The bomb's core pulses with unstable energy, and its activation would have catastrophic consequences. Shura grips its casing with both hands, her knuckles white as she prepares to use it as a temporal martyr weapon against Dalek forces. Its purpose is both to serve as an unstable high-yield explosive and to target specific temporal threats by collapsing the timeline upon which Dalek forces depend, ensuring the survival of the peace conference at the cost of Shura's future existence. Functionally identical to the 'Dalekanium Sabotage Charge' used by Monia and Anat in the same operation, representing the rebels' temporal disruption weaponry.

Purpose
To serve as an unstable high-yield explosive capable of catastrophic destruction when detonated.
Significance
The rebels' mistaken belief in its ability to rewrite history centers on this unstable weapon. Shura's fatal choice to detonate it ensures the Daleks cannot alter the timeline to guarantee their dominance, making it the key to averting temporal conquest despite the rebels' original erroneous intent.
