Electronic Bolts

High-energy plasma discharges that erupt from the android attackers' rifles in bursts of crackling blue-white light. These bolts sear through the air with a distinctive electronic shriek, leaving thin trails of ionized smoke in their wake. Their impact against surfaces emits a sharp metallic hiss, punctuating the chaos of battle. The Doctor dodges the closest discharges by millimeters, K9's sensors screeching their proximity alerts.
