Pharos Project Antenna Dish

The colossal antenna dish of the Pharos Project fills the control room, its metal surfaces gleaming under artificial lights as its hydraulic motors hum with strain. Capable of rotating 360 degrees and tilting to precise astronomical alignments, the dish's concave surface and central feedhorn dominate the chamber, its sheer scale dwarfing both the Time Lords who control it. The dish's alignment mechanisms whir in response to the Master's inputs, betraying both its technical sophistication and its terrifying potential to broadcast cosmic-scale ultimatums across the universe.
