Sonic modulator: Difference between revisions

The '''Sonic modulator''' was a [[human]]-built sonic device. It was probably an attempt at reverse-engineering a device based on [[the Doctor]]'s [[sonic screwdriver]]. It produced an effect similar to when the [[Tenth Doctor]] held his sonic screwdriver and a [[sonic pen]] next to each other. ([[TV]]: ''[[Partners in Crime]]'')

More bulky than the sonic screwdriver, it could cause physical pain and injury by emitting powerful sonic waves. [[Toshiko Sato]], an employee of the [[Lodmoor Research Facility]], stole plans for the device at the order of a mysterious woman named [[Milton (Fragments)|Milton]]. She offered a working device from the plans in exchange for the life of her kidnapped mother. [[Jack Harkness]] said the plans wouldn't have actually worked, but with her technical genius, Tosh altered the design so that it ''did ''work. Before her capture by [[UNIT]], Milton reneged on the deal, testing the modulator on Tosh's mother. ([[TV]]: ''[[Fragments (TV story)|Fragments]]'')
