Unstable Chronodyne Component

A jerry-rigged Chronodyne fragment, improvised under duress by the Doctor during the Key to Time crisis. The component's surface shows visible stress cracks from its seventy-four percent compatibility ratio, its internal matrix flickering with unstable energy that creates momentary zones of false stability. Romana handles it with caution, slotting it into the Key’s transparent core while K9 notes its imminent deterioration.
