Temporal Jump Control Device

A precision-engineered control device used to initiate and regulate temporal jumps aboard the spacecraft. The device's silver-haired surface gleams dully under emergency lighting, featuring recessed activation pads worn smooth from repeated use. It hums with unstable energy when activated, capable of overriding standard safety protocols to force transit through unstable time rifts. The control exists in two states: as a handheld unit held by Rorvik during critical operations, and as a recessed control embedded in Packard's console that interfaces with the handheld device. Biroc seizes the handheld version moments after activation, attempting to stabilize the failing transit.

S18E17 · Warrior's Gate Part 1
Rorvik forces dangerous time jump

Multiple consoles across the bridge explode in arcs of unstable energy immediately following the jump activation, spewing sparks and smoke while crew scramble to avoid injury or falling objects amid gravity fluctuations.

Before: Consoles flickering with temporal static but intact.
After: Exploded consoles emitting sparks and smoke, systems failing catastrophically after overload.

S18E17 · Warrior's Gate Part 1
Temporal rift carves path to TARDIS

Rorvik grips the temporal jump control device in both hands and depresses its controls with brutal force to initiate the blind jump sequence. The device’s pressure-sensitive pads hum with unstable energy as the ship’s timestream lurches violently in response.

Before: Functional temporal navigation tool with worn activation pads, resting on Packard’s console.
After: Humming with raw energy, its surface growing faintly warm from excessive strain as the jump destabilizes the ship.
