Nasty pieces of work, sonic mines were the reason the Thirteenth Doctor and her fam were hospitalized at the beginning of “The Tsuranga Conundrum.” Their internal organs had been “scrambled” by a mine the Doctor failed to defuse on Seffilun 27, which could have proven fatal but for the timely medical assistance of the crew of the Tsuranga. The Scaroth used a sonic knife to cut through the glass case around the Mona Lisa in “City of Death.” This feels like a tool that could definitely exist, although the vibration would probably set off an alarm. A coarse fishing and carp angling essential, a good brolly, such as the Sonik SK-TEK 60”, gives you the ability to brave the elements and stay out as long as you need, no matter what the weather’s doing around you. In one line, though, he daydreams about showing Amy certain areas because "she'll love it", while in another he wishes the two of them were "sharing an umbrella". The game's director Morio Kishimoto has said that the game is a "global playtest" and is "not quite there yet", so expect further updates and tweaks in future.
The Sixth Doctor occasionally carried a bright, multi-coloured umbrella. He took it with him on a relaxing lakeside fishing trip with Peri ( TV: The Two Doctors) and whilst exploring Ravolox, where he used it in an attempt to protect himself from being stoned. ( TV: The Mysterious Planet) He had it with him when he crash-landed on Lakertya and regenerated. ( TV: Time and the Rani)Whilst wandering the TARDIS corridors, Clara Oswald came across a storage area and found the Seventh Doctor's whangee handled umbrella. ( TV: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS) On the other hand, the cane used by the Eleventh Doctor to scan the Teselecta in “Let’s Kill Hitler” is rather swish and beautifully irrelevant. It is an object blessed with lots of style but comparatively little substance as a sonic tool, in that it is a cane that happens to have extra capabilities, rather than being a cane that uses its sonic powers to keep the Doctor steady. The Doctor found in the TARDIS a yellow umbrella with a question mark handle which contained a concealed sword blade. He claimed it had never been drawn, but was unsure if it was actually his. ( PROSE: The Slow Empire)
Hard to focus... gotta keep going", says Sonic. "I know I'm moving... I can't feel it!" he continues. "I'm so cold now... numb." When not in use, the Seventh Doctor's umbrella could often be seen resting on the hatstand in the TARDIS console room. ( TV: Paradise Towers, etc.) In November 1688, he used an umbrella to shield himself from the rain in London. ( AUDIO: The Glorious Revolution)He cryptically gave Clara Oswin Oswald an umbrella, which she deduced was to be used to pull down the TARDIS exterior staircase. ( TV: The Snowmen) Some lines suggest how worried Sonic is about finding Amy, which could just be him looking to help a friend. The Silurians and Sea Devils both used forms of sonic discs as weapons when they awoke in 1972 and again in 2084. They had a similar larger cutting device for cutting through doors, so it’s clear their use of sonic tech far outstripped that of even the Time Lords. The Twelfth Doctor used a shield umbrella with Vulkanite to protect himself from the fires of Hyperion. ( COMIC: The Hyperion Empire)
The interesting thing about River Song’s sonic trowel – as seen in “The Husbands of River Song” – is that it is trowel shaped. The sonic screwdriver wouldn’t be any use as a manual screwdriver, but the trowel could easily serve to dig up small amounts of soil even with flat batteries. This may be why the Twelfth Doctor found it an “embarrassing” tool. Too practical. While the Tenth Doctor did not typically carry an umbrella, he appeared to make extensive use of the Sixth Doctor's multi-coloured version while on rainy Grått. ( COMIC: The Whispering Gallery) The Third Doctor was in possession of an umbrella with a question mark handle. He used it to shelter himself and Sarah Jane Smith from the rain after landing in Fetchborough in the far future. ( AUDIO: The House That Hoxx Built) It seems this story may have been scrapped during development, but the lines still exist in the game. Madame Foster had a sonic pen – in reality, a sonic device powerful enough to cut cables disguised as a fountain pen – which she put to good use in “Partners in Crime.” Sadly, it was this pen that proved to be her undoing, and even the Doctor didn’t seem to want it after her untimely end. He threw it in the bin.
The Doctor used an umbrella to protect against the rain on the dark side of a planet in E-Space. ( AUDIO: Chase the Night) Later he admits: "Amy... I should've made up my mind sooner." It's as if he should've professed his love before she was captured at the start of the game.
Great Deal
