CET Projector

A compact, metallic device humming with trapped energy, its casing etched with the faint glow of contained electric crystals. Romana studies the projector as the Doctor moves to dismantle it, revealing the mechanism that powered the Vraxoin operation's containment fields. The projector's design suggests precision engineering—gears turn smoothly, wires retract with practiced ease—designed not for transportation but for captivity.

S17E16 · Nightmare of Eden Part 4
Romana observes Vraxoin is forestalling Eden’s danger

The CET projector is being dismantled nearby by the Doctor, its destruction directly tied to Romana’s revelation about the electric crystals, as both actions sever Tryst’s interconnected schemes of conservation and smuggling.

Before: Active projector feeding CET simulations and masking Vraxoin smuggling within mandrel containment
After: Partially dismantled and disabled, its dual role in conservation and crime exposed and dismantled

S17E16 · Nightmare of Eden Part 4
Doctor declares mandrels right to exist

The CET Projector is referenced as dismantled by the Doctor, removing the immediate tool for CET function and clearing the way for the TARDIS-based solution. Its destruction symbolically ends Tryst’s smuggling infrastructure while enabling the ethical redirection of resources toward transportation technology in the TARDIS.

Before: Operational until dismantled by the Doctor, functioning as a core component of Tryst’s smuggling and CET control systems
After: Dismantled and nonfunctional, its role superseded by the TARDIS’s advanced systems
