Anti-Radiation Medication Pills

Two small, white pills with embossed markings, stored in a flat metal case that snaps open with a metallic click. The Doctor produces them without fanfare during Romana’s destabilized regeneration sequence, pressing them into her hand with practiced urgency. Their chemical scent lingers faintly in the air of the TARDIS console room, distinct against the usual hum of the ship.
