Ribosian crown jewels: Difference between revisions

They were stored in the relic-room of the castle of [[Shur]] along with ceremonial regalia and sacred relics, guarded by the [[Shrieve]]s, led by a [[Shrieve captain|captain]]. A curfew was in place at night in Shur, at which time the doors to the relic-room were locked and barred, and a [[Shrivenzale]] was let into the room. The case they were stored in was protected by multi-levered interlocks, and the penalties for trying to steal from the relic-room were enough to discourage the Ribosians from any attempt to break in.

However, the Shrieves were unprofessional, and [[Garron]] and [[Unstoffe]] managed to break in through the Shrivenzale feeding hatch and plant what appeared to be a piece of [[jethrik]] among the crown jewels to try to make the [[Graff Vynda-K]] believe it was plentiful on Ribos in order to trick him into buying the planet from them. [[Fourth Doctor|The Doctor]] also broke in on a search for a segment of the [[Key to Time]] (disguised as Garron's piece of jethrik), sneaking past the sleeping guard and unlocking the door with his [[sonic screwdriver]].

* [[Romana I]] was impressed by the crown jewels, describing them as "magnificent jewellery". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ribos Operation (TV story)|The Ribos Operation]]'')

* [[Garron]] pointed out their workmanship, claiming they were all made by hand with simple implements. Trying to impress [[Graff Vynda-K]], he described them saying: "There's a certain honest peasant artistry about these pieces that speaks to the soil, don't you think?"
