UNIT Anti-Tank Guns (Newton Institute Deployment)
Two olive-drab military-issue anti-tank guns with long tapered barrels mounted on mobile carriages, their steel frames gleaming dully under overcast skies outside the Newton Institute. The weapons are braced on spade-shaped trails dug into the gravel, their breeches open as ordnance crews load high-explosive shells. The barrels are marked with rangefinder grooves from previous drills, their muzzles pointing toward the Institute’s upper windows where the Master’s temporal experiments threaten. Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart stands with his hands clasped behind his back, observing their emplacement as he declares the facility under military control.
