Appearance and technology

The sonic screwdriver had similar design elements to previous sonic screwdrivers and other devices: the wide area dispersal petals and the resonator cage were similar to the Eleventh Doctor's sonic screwdriver; the handle was similar to the Ninth and Tenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver, which was made from coral like the TARDIS; the frequency and intensity dials were similar to the Master's laser screwdriver; the cage around the central sonic cluster was similar to that of the Twelfth Doctor's second model (PROSE: Super Sonic [+]Loading...{"page":"36-37","1":"Super Sonic (feature)"}) and a Dalek gunstick; (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], AUDIO: Eye of Darkness [+]Loading...["Eye of Darkness (audio story)"], etc.) and the primary sonic emitter was similar to the bullet-shaped emitter on the sonic screwdriver belonging to the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Doctors and the sonic screwdriver belonging to (PROSE: Super Sonic [+]Loading...{"page":"36-37","1":"Super Sonic (feature)"}) the Seventh (TV: Doctor Who [+]Loading...["Doctor Who (TV story)"]) and Eighth Doctors.

The activation button also had circular Gallifreyan embossed into it and the function access controls were located at the pommel, with a hexagonal cutout at the very base.

History

The Thirteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver is destroyed. (COMIC: Liberation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)"])

After the Thirteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver fell into the Fourteenth Doctor's possession following his regeneration, he used it for a short while to scan inside the Dalek Dome until it was destroyed by a fake Supreme Dalek. He later got an identical one made for him that he used to change the direction of the Daleks' escape rocket to hit the Mathematicians' Moon. It was then destroyed by the fake Golden Emperor. (COMIC: Liberation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)"]) He later replaced it.

During his travels, the TARDIS brought the Doctor to a Sycorax spaceship piloted by the Queen of the Sycorax during Christmas, (COMIC: Into Control [+]Loading...{"page":"48-53","1":"Into Control (comic story)"}) however he was unaware that he was in anything other than a cave. While exploring, the Doctor came across a Strombok lodged in a fissure, whereupon the Doctor pulled the screwdriver out from his coat to dislodge a slab of rock to prevent the fissure from closing. On several occasions, he used the screwdriver to scan the veins of silver embedded in the walls of the craft, but only got unclear readings each time. He also used the screwdriver to adjust a pulley to raise and lower a platform with stalactites facing down towards a group of humans, to demonstrate that the trap physically couldn't harm them as it was designed merely to provoke fear, as the craft was powered by psychic turbines that fed off pain. (PROSE: Under Control [+]Loading...{"page":"10-15","1":"Under Control (short story)"})

During the Meep's attempted Destruction of London in late 2023, the Doctor used his screwdriver multiple times. First, he used the screwdriver to unsecure a fence panel in the perimeter of the Millson Wagner Steelworks to sneak in past UNIT undetected, then, as he entered the steelworks facility itself by unlocking a door with the tool, he used it again to create a holographic screen and adjusted its dials to begin analysing the data about the Meep's ship.

Later, when the Soliders of the Psychedelic Sun demanded to enter the Nobles' home, the Doctor used the screwdriver again to raise their visors to see that their eyes bore the effects of solar psychedelia. After these soldiers and the Wrarth Warriors began to open fire upon each other at each end of the hallway spanning the length of the Nobles' home, the Doctor used the screwdriver to create shields to create a safe passageway to the stairs, handing Donna the screwdriver while he pushed them out. When they reached the attic, the Doctor used the screwdriver to weaken the walls dividing the attic between each resident, to create a path to exit another person's home away from the gunfire.

After escaping from the firefight in Shaun Temple's taxi and driving to a car park, the Doctor used the screwdriver to intercept the Wrarth Warriors teleport to hold an impromptu court.

The Doctor and the Nobles' were taken as captives back to the steelworks, but after freeing themselves from the soldiers and the Doctor and Donna ran to the Meep's ship to prevent the Meep from using the dagger drive, the former using the screwdriver to help himself do so.
