TARDIS Supply Boxes

Three sturdy cardboard boxes Romana brings from the TARDIS shelves, their lids slightly ajar as Adric later tips junk out of one. The corrugated fiber containers show creases from repeated use, marked only by dark scuffs where they’ve scraped against console-room bulkheads over the years. One box holds a tangle of diagnostic cables and loose parts; another contains Romana’s folded mission attire for Tara. Their presence reveals Romana’s habitual organization—and how quickly Adric’s impatience turns preparation into clutter.

Before: Neatly folded mission attire and technical components stored within sturdy cardboard boxes in the console room shelves.
After: Ransacked and emptied, its contents strewn to reveal hidden tools and replacement parts no one can now reach.
