Object
Greel's Catalytic Extraction Chamber
A squat metallic apparatus of riveted durasteel, its surface pitted with control nodules and flickering amber calibration lights. Wires trail from its base like ruptured veins, connecting to a jury-rigged power grid. The Doctor notes its grisly function: though dressed in pseudo-scientific trappings, it functions as a food processor, condensing organic matter into edible slurry for Greel’s cannibalistic ends. Its industrial bulk dominates the dimly lit lab, an abomination of function masquerading as salvation.

Purpose
Originally designed as a matter-energy converter, repurposed as a mechanical cannibalism device to sustain Greel’s pig-like homunculus and prolong his unnatural existence.
Significance
The literal and symbolic heart of Greel’s grotesque quest for immortality. Its exposure as a fraudulent relic shatters his authority and accelerates the confrontation with the Doctor, marking it as the threshold between deception and total exposure.
