Thirteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver

Due to losing everything in her pockets following her regeneration and fall, the Thirteenth Doctor lost her previous incarnation's sonic screwdriver (and sonic sunglasses). As a result, the Doctor chose to build one of her own in a workshop in Sheffield. This one was far simpler in appearance than the last screwdriver with a simple steel body, and a crystal on the tip that glowed amber while in use, taken from a Stenza transport chamber. (TV: )
This version's emitter now glowed yellow and orange (TV: ) when had previously been red, (TV: - The Visitation) blue, (TV: - ) and green with "claws" deployed, (TV: - ) or a large emitter glowing in a rotating fashion. (TV: - ) It was also the first of the Doctor's sonic devices to have a curved handle, allowing for a more natural grip as it fitted around one's palm. (TV: )
Comparing it to a Swiss Army knife, but without the knife, the Doctor explained that it functioned not only as a screwdriver, but as a scanner and a tin opener, and it could be used for diagnostics. (TV: ) Following its loss, the Fourteenth Doctor remembered it as the Swiss Army sonic. (COMIC: Liberation of the Daleks)
It had a self-rebooting feature, allowing it to restore power if drained. (TV: ) It could not work on machinery if the power cells were fluctuating. (TV: )
When a Thijarian remnant sample overloaded the sonic, for having too many inputs, the Doctor noted that this had never happened before. This was because of the immeasurably high density of this substance, containing the remains of Thijar and all their ancestors. (TV: ) On another occasion, the sonic could calculate such an impossible density, but that "density [blew its] mind". (TV: )
To the Doctor's extreme surprise, her sonic could be rendered inoperative by recon scout Daleks. (TV: Resolution)

== History ==
When the Twelfth Doctor regenerated, (TV: ), his screwdriver and sonic sunglasses fell from the Thirteenth Doctor's pockets as she fell to Earth. During her investigation of Tzim-Sha, she built her new sonic screwdriver out of Stenza technology and Sheffield steel. (TV: )
The Doctor used her screwdriver to track where her TARDIS had ended up. Following it to Desolation, the Doctor used the sonic as a beacon for the TARDIS engines, allowing the ship to properly materialise. (TV: )
When on the Tsuranga, the screwdriver was briefly snacked on by a Pting who drained the device of power. (TV: )
When facing off against a rebuilt Reconnaissance Dalek in the Recon Scout Incident, the Doctor used her screwdriver to briefly override the Dalek's gunstick. (TV: ) When the Doctor was targeted by Dalek Executioners, she attempted to repeat the trick but found that the Daleks had overcome this weakness. (TV: )
Following the Thirteenth Doctor's regeneration, (TV: ) the screwdriver was briefly used by the Fourteenth Doctor only to be destroyed by a psychoplasmic Supreme Dalek at the Dalek Dome. This came to the dismay of the Doctor, who reflected on the screwdriver's construction in Sheffield. Soon after, as part of a deal to retrieve the TARDIS from the Golden Emperor during the 2323 Dalek invasion of Earth, the Doctor had the Old Skaro Emperor craft an identical, replacement sonic which included an integral teleporter.
The Doctor used the screwdriver to override the controls of an escape rocket to collide with the Mathematicians' Moon which sustained the psychoplasmic Daleks in the real universe. The Golden Emperor then wrested the screwdriver from the Doctor's grasp before destroying it, with the Doctor lamenting "not again!" (COMIC: ) Following the ordeal, the Doctor replaced the screwdriver with a new model. (WC: , PROSE: )
