The Immortality Ritual Machine

A squat, metallic apparatus hums with barely contained energy as the Madranite crystals glow within its central chamber, their red pulses casting flickering shadows across the ritual chamber. The machine’s controls are simple—just a few switches and a loading tray—yet the Doctor’s team fails to notice its activation until the device begins siphoning life from the surrounding environment, transforming the room into a conduit for Queen Xanxia’s desperate gambit. Its function is exact, its purpose merciless.
