Panatropic Net

The panatropic net is a vast, centralized repository of Gallifrey’s stored time lord brain patterns, suspended in a fiery vault within the Records Room. Its exposed circuitry glows red as failing APC systems threaten catastrophic collapse, filling the chamber with acrid smoke and the hum of dying energy. Engin and Spandrell’s frantic attempts to stabilize the system reveal its fragile, barely contained power—a technological relic that holds millions of personalities compressed within its gilded lattice.
