Torn Pages from Wenley Moor Cyclotron Log

The Doctor uncovers torn pages (tied with a string and bearing jagged edges from deliberate ripping) hidden at the bottom of the Wenley Moor cyclotron logbook in the control room. Quinn hands this log to the Doctor amid questions about power instability, and the torn sections reveal clear signs of sabotage. Liz Shaw collapses nearby from energy surges as Roberts, Dawson, and Quinn stand by, with the concealed pages pointing to manipulated infrastructure and critical power fluctuation data tied to the facility's reptilian threat. The log records cyclotron operations and power usage, with the torn sections likely hiding experiment logs related to the facility's covert activities.

Doctor uncovers sabotage in power logs

The torn pages from the cyclotron log are the pivotal discovery in this event, serving as tangible evidence of deliberate sabotage. Hidden beneath the binding of the logbook, the shredded edges and jagged tears reveal that someone—likely Spencer—intentionally removed critical data. The Doctor’s observation of these pages shifts the narrative from random power losses to a targeted conspiracy, linking the facility’s technical failures to the broader reptilian threat. The pages’ condition suggests haste and secrecy, implying that the sabotage was not a one-time act but part of a larger, ongoing effort to manipulate the cyclotron’s operations.

Before: Concealed at the bottom of the cyclotron logbook, bound with a string and partially hidden from view. The torn edges are visible only upon close inspection, suggesting they were intended to remain undiscovered.
After: Exposed and examined by the Doctor, the torn pages are now a focal point of the investigation. Their discovery forces Quinn and Dawson to acknowledge their existence, though the full implications of the sabotage remain unclear.
