The TARDIS transports the group to the ruined 1980 Earth, functioning as shelter and temporal beacon against the annihilating storm outside. Its console pulses erratically under the Doctor’s touch, visually encoding the strain of grazing Sutekh’s temporal dominion while serving its protective mission. "status_before_event": Fully operational, functioning as a safe haven in the present timeline prior to materialization into ruin. "status_after_event": Same vessel, now bearing the emotional burden of bearing unbearable witness, its systems pulse with residual temporal chaos.
