Changes: Singularity scalpel

Latest revision as of 12:50, 15 July 2023

The singularity scalpel was an alien medical device, believed to be used for operating on a body without surgery. It was discovered by Torchwood Three, but they were unable to use it properly at first. When they tried to remove a Mayfly from Billy Davis, they killed him, blowing open his stomach. After practice, Owen Harper used it to kill a Mayfly which had been implanted into Martha Jones. (TV: Reset)

Owen took it to Gwen Cooper's wedding, and planned to use it remove the Nostrovite egg from her. He had modified it for this exact purpose. Owen gave it to Rhys Williams and showed him how to use it, as Owen was uncertain in his own ability to do so due to his permanently broken left hand. Rhys removed the egg without killing Gwen, after an accidental misfire on a box nearby. (TV: Something Borrowed)

Jack Harkness used it to kill the Vam after weakening its molecular structure with sonic cannons. He set it on a wide band, causing the Vam to explode, coating much of Cardiff in oil. (PROSE: Risk Assessment)

Bilis Manger retrieved the scalpel from the ruins of the Hub and later destroyed it by flooding the Hub with Rift scar energy. (AUDIO: Cuckoo)
