Spencer's Sweeping Laser Trap / Chameleon Tours Hangar Paralyzing Laser System

A high-tech defensive system deployed by Spencer in the Chameleon Tours hangar, this device emits a paralyzing laser beam (or grid) that immobilizes targets by locking their muscles rigid. The beam advances methodically, forcing victims into a corner (e.g., Jamie, Samantha, and the Doctor) while sparks reveal its lethal heat capabilities. In one instance, Samantha frees an arm to grab her handbag, while in another, Jamie reflects the beam back with a mirror, causing an explosion that destroys the device. Narratively, it underscores the Chameleons' mechanical lethality and traps the group in escalating danger.
