Jury-Rigged Steam Pipe
A repurposed industrial pipe salvaged from the facility's overheating infrastructure, its metal surface scarred by years of industrial use. The Doctor and Sarah redirect scalding steam through this jury-rigged conduit, transforming it into a makeshift barrier against the Krynoid’s encroaching tendrils. Heat shimmers distort the air around its connections, where jury-rigged clamps and fraying insulation betray the desperation of its improvised role. Steam vents in sharp, rhythmic bursts as the Doctor times its pressure to hold back the alien threat.
