S17E1 · Destiny of the Daleks Part 1

Romana cycles through regeneration forms

Romana manipulates the Regeneration Control Module to cyclically alter her form, causing visible distortions in energy and space around her with each transformation. The module emits a faint hum, acting as both conduit and visual cue for her unstable regeneration process.

Before: Resting on a stable surface within the TARDIS console room, inactive and unremarkable.

After: Temporarily disused after Romana completes her sequence, lying on the TARDIS floor post-experiment.

S17E1 · Destiny of the Daleks Part 1

Romana settles into Astra's form permanently

The Doctor manipulates Romana’s regeneration module during the transformation sequence. Though not explicitly labeled as such in the scene text, the module is implied by the Doctor’s references to ‘replacing a brain’ and Romana’s experimental transformations, serving as the conduit for her regenerative energy.

Before: Presumably functional, part of the TARDIS’s regeneration tools

After: Used in Romana’s regeneration, then returned to the console without further implication
