== Summary ==
The design and inner workings of the Fourteenth Doctor's new sonic screwdriver is showcased.
== Worldbuilding ==
* The button on the handle has circular Gallifreyan embossed into it.
== Notes ==
* The design of the sonic screwdriver was covered in the Designated 'Driver article in DWM 594.
== Continuity ==
* Many of this sonic screwdriver's designs and functions were elaborated on in an in-universe perspective in the Super Sonic feature in Doctor Who The Official Annual 2024.
* Many of the functions and designs of this sonic screwdriver were intended to evoke/reference the designs of previous sonic screwdrivers, some overtly discernible, others more implicit. Some of these include:
** The Third through Fifth Doctor's sonic screwdriver, introduced in The Sea Devils.
** The coral handle is meant to resemble the handles of the Ninth and Tenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver, as first introduced in Rose.
** The "petals" were meant to resemble the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctor's sonic screwdriver, introduced in The Eleventh Hour.
** The "cage" towards the end of the screwdriver was meant to resemble the Twelfth Doctor's second model, introduced in Hell Bent. This was also meant to evoke a Dalek gunstick to reference the "you would make a good Dalek" line in Into the Dalek.
