The Dastari Lab Coat is worn by the Scientist as he enters Dastari’s office to perform his duty, identifying him as part of the facility’s research hierarchy before the violent interruption. The stiff cotton fabric bears institutional markings, confirming his role in temporal experiments while he flees for safety but is dispatched mercilessly.

Before: In pristine institutional condition, tailored for professional utility—worn as visible institutional uniform—signaling subordinate authority within Dastari’s research framework.

After: Presented in scorched fragments adhering to walls and ceiling post-energy weapon discharge—fabric reduced to ash clinging to metal surfaces alongside the faint metallic tang of burnt circuitry and ozone.

Sontarans ambush poisoned Dastari

The Scientist wears the stiff white Dastari lab coat as he rushes into the office in last-ditch warning. Its institutional insignia and professional cut mark his role, before being rendered ash by a Sontaran shot—only the coat’s scorched collar remains, briefly drifting in the smoke as a symbol of failed science. It identifies him as Dastari’s subordinate and emphasizes the betrayal of trust.

Before: Crisp and professional, worn by a subordinate scientist approaching his superior in crisis.

After: Partially incinerated, scorched and contaminated by energy discharge, discarded in the doorway amid smoke and ruin.
