A disordered heap of loose papers and documents spills across Professor Chronotis's desk, jostled by the violent collapse of the temporal vortex. Sheets flutter to the floor as Romana and Clare struggle to stabilize the failing equipment, their forgotten presence emphasizing the chaos of the moment. K9's mechanical assessment of the situation—'It's broken'—echoes across the room, underscoring the futility of their efforts.
