Axons strip the Doctor and Jo

The Axons' energy-draining technology is the centerpiece of this event, used to strip the Doctor and Jo of their identities and agency. The technology operates with clinical precision, first paralyzing its victims and then 're-personalising' them into powerless, humanized shells. This process is not just physical but psychological, reducing the Doctor and Jo to mere energy sources for the Axons. The technology's efficiency and detachment underscore the Axons' view of their enemies as resources to be exploited, rather than sentient beings.

Before: Activated and ready to be deployed by the Axons, positioned within the Light Acceleration Laboratory.

After: Deactivated after completing the 're-personalisation' process, leaving the Doctor and Jo as hollowed-out versions of themselves. The technology remains a looming threat, capable of being reused on other victims.
