Side Table

A low wooden side table sits against the basement wall, slightly scuffed from recent use. Its surface holds nothing in the chaos—no vase, no books, just empty space where the Doctor and Sarah might have placed equipment. The table’s sturdy legs barely support its flimsy frame, making it an unlikely candidate for supporting delicate chemical experiments.

Before: Stationary against the basement wall, slightly scuffed and unremarkable — holding no relevant lab equipment at the moment.

After: Overturned and pushed aside, its sturdy legs barely supporting it — now a minor casualty of the unfolding plan.
