Presidential Coordination Telegram
A rolled paper cylinder bearing a series of undulating handwritten lines, passed from Laurence Scarman to the Doctor during the crisis meeting at the Lodge. The paper is of heavy stock with faint creases from being carried unfolded, showing traces of ink smudges along the edges. Its content appears to be a reconstructed signal readout from the Marconiscope, the irregular 'wiggly lines' representing temporal warnings encoded as electromagnetic data despite its primitive form.

Purpose

Significance
Serves as the pivotal physical evidence that transforms an informal warning into undeniable proof of Sutekh's return, compelling immediate protective action despite official resistance. Represents the intersection between ancient ritual and futuristic detection technology, rendered in a form accessible to 1910s leadership.
