Unstable Borad Control Crystals

Jagged, glass-like crystals jutting from the Timelash vortex’s walls, their fractured surfaces scattering erratic light in shifting beams. The formations hum with unstable energy, warm to the touch despite their cool metallic sheen, and fracture further under pressure. Their surfaces shimmer with the same spectral distortion that churns through the Borad’s temporal breach, making footing treacherous. Herbert and Mykros grip these crystals as anchors, feeling their vibrations intensify under the Doctor’s weight as they pull him from the swirling vortex. These formations are referred to in narrative contexts as both 'Unstable Borad Control Crystals' and 'Cluster of Fractured Control Crystals' depending on focus.

S22E11 · Timelash Part 2
Herbert and Mykros rescue trapped Doctor

The unstable Borad Control Crystals serve as perilous climbing aids and anchor points within the Timelash, their jagged surfaces cutting through the air with erratic energy. Herbert grips them tightly while descending, and all three rescuers use them to steady their precarious stances as the vortex tugs at their limbs. Their unstable vibrations increase under the Doctor’s shifting weight, threatening to dislodge anyone who falters.

Before: Fixed within the Timelash vortex, pulsing with chaotic temporal energy and partially fractured from prior use
After: Slightly destabilized by the rescue effort, though still intact enough to provide temporary footholds
