Second Doctor Extraction Surgical Apparatus (Dastari Variant)

A cramped assembly of stainless steel surgical trays, fiber-optic probes, and retractable forceps mounted on a wheeled cart in the cellar's damp corner. This specific configuration (combining the Doctor's symbiotic nuclei extraction kit with Dastari's surgical precision tools) gleams under the colony's bare bulbs, its tubes coiled like serpents with contents glowing faintly despite the Sontarans' makeshift power. Both Dastari and Stike hover near the controls, their actions revealing both medical necessity and moral compromise in the extraction procedure.
