The [[Tenth Doctor]] acquired it from Matron Cofelia by pointing his own sonic at it, causing the sonic pen to emit [[spark]]s and cause Cofelia significant [[pain]]. It was also similar to [[Sarah Jane Smith]]'s [[sonic lipstick]] in that it was disguised as a common item to avoid suspicion; since Cofelia took on the outward appearance of a smartly-dressed businesswoman, her sonic device resembled a sleek, black and silver fountain pen.
The [[Tenth Doctor]] acquired it from Matron Cofelia by pointing his own sonic at it and causing it to xxperience a power surge, emitting [[spark]]s and causing Cofelia to drop it in [[pain]]. It was also similar to [[Sarah Jane Smith]]'s [[sonic lipstick]] in that it was disguised as a common item to avoid suspicion; since Cofelia took on the outward appearance of a smartly-dressed businesswoman, her sonic device resembled a sleek, black and silver fountain pen.


The sonic pen was able to open [[deadlock seal]]s, but only ones it was coded to, while the Doctor's device remained ineffective against that precaution. When the Doctor put the ends of the functioning sonic pen and the sonic screwdriver near each other, they generated a feedback effect which stunned everyone in the vicinity. The pen was invaluable in stopping the Adipose' sinister plot as it allowed the Doctor to access the otherwise triple-deadlocked inducer. After the death of Cofelia, the Doctor threw the sonic pen into a bin. ([[TV]]: ''[[Partners in Crime (TV story)|Partners in Crime]]'')

The sonic pen cut [[cable]]s, activated the [[Adipose]] [[inducer]] and opened and disabled [[deadlock seal]]s. When repelled against [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver]], it could create a deafening sonic noise that could irritate and temporarily stun those in the vicinity. ([[TV]]: ''[[Partners in Crime (TV story)|Partners in Crime]]'')
The sonic pen had a number of abilities similar to other sonic devices, including an ability to cut metal [[cable]]s, but also had a couple of features that appeared unique to it, namely activating or deactivating the [[Adipose]] [[inducer]] and overriding [[deadlock seal]]s, provided it was coded to them. When repelled against [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver]], it could create a deafening sonic noise capable of stunning people and shattering glass.
