K9 Mark II

K9 Mark II, recently completed by the Doctor, serves as both technological companion and immediate catalyst for the holiday plans. Its activation and responsiveness underscore the transition from personal respite to cosmic duty, as it becomes integral to the Doctor's acceptance of the summons.

K9 Mark II enters under the Doctor’s control, rolling forward to engage the robot parrot Avitron in combat. Its tracked treads and sensor arrays activate as it targets the robotic threat, firing its nose laser in calculated bursts. The faithful companion retreats after initiating distraction, prioritizing the Doctor’s escape over continued confrontation.

K9 Mark II rolls into the Bridge ready to engage but is forced back by Avitron’s superior lethality. His withdrawal signals a tactical retreat rather than a defeat, preserving resources for future resistance.

K9 rolls onto the Bridge and engages Avitron in direct combat, targeting robotic threats with controlled laser fire. He uses his mobility and sensor-based targeting to protect the Doctor and Kimus, pivoting out when outgunned.

K9 Mark II attempts to burn through the steel barricade with its remaining battery power but fails due to exhaustion, leaving it motionless and unable to function. The Doctor’s inquiry about K9’s whereabouts underscores the device’s critical failure and signals a strategic collapse.
