Cabinet of Sabotage Charges

A dented metal cabinet wedged into the lab’s corner, its door forced ajar by the Doctor’s hands. Inside, rows of explosive cylinders and precision-timing devices lie exposed, their Kaled-era markings dating them while Dalek tech in the timers suggests recent repurposing. The explosives are military-grade, arranged in neat clusters—not scavenged tools, but industrial sabotage payloads. Kerensky’s experiment with the Egg amplifies the threat; the cabinet’s contents are silent proof of the Count Scarlioni’s dangerous, unstable science.
