Steven's G-Force Energy Pump

A primitive, dangerous power outlet device connected to the fake taranium core in the Dalek pursuit ship. Steven activates it in secret to generate G-force energy, making the replica glow like real taranium. Causes physical strain on the user and is central to the Doctor’s deception plan during the power struggle in the ship.

Steven Proves His G-Force Theory

Steven’s G-force device is the physical tool that makes his experiment possible. Wired into the ship’s gravity outlet, it channels the ship’s artificial gravity as raw power, transforming the taranium replica into a convincing duplicate. The device’s success, despite its 'primitive' nature, forces the Doctor and Sara to reconsider their skepticism, symbolizing the value of unconventional solutions in desperate situations.

Before: Inactive, stored or carried by Steven as a theoretical backup plan.
After: Depleted and inactive after the experiment, but its success validates Steven’s approach.

Steven’s G-force experiment succeeds

Steven’s G-force device, initially mocked as 'primitive,' becomes the key to energizing the taranium replica. He secretly connects it to the ship’s gravity outlet, bypassing the Doctor and Sara’s warnings. The device’s activation drains Steven’s strength, causing him to collapse, but it successfully powers the replica. This object symbolizes the clash between established Time Lord technology and human adaptability—its success forces the crew to reconsider their assumptions about what constitutes 'advanced' solutions.

Before: Dormant, dismissed by the Doctor and Sara as unsafe and outdated.
After: Activated, depleted of energy, but proven effective in a critical moment.
