Look at every single face here : Justin , Sean , David , Dan , Colin , Jake , Trevor , Barney . . . Each one of these people whose only motivation is to test the limits of what human ity can achieve . Imagine what could have happened if you had left them to it . If it was one of these men that had received the message once " Apollo " had landed .

Energy blaster Energy blasters were used by the Preachers on Pete ' s World to kill the Cybermen . They killed by firing a blue blast of concentrated energy . The Tenth Doctor modified some blasters to penetrate the heat shields and polycarbide of a Dalek ; enough to create a battle long enough for Rose and Mickey to escape , but not to the point where the Daleks would be destroyed . The blasters disabled the Cult of Skaro ' s weapons and impaired their casings , though they quickly adapted and regained control of their weapons . ( TV : " Doomsday " ) Upgraded versions of these guns were developed by the parallel world ' s Torchwood and used by Rose Tyler , Jackie Tyler and Mickey Smith .

Time anomaly relocation distributor The time anomaly relocation distributor was a feature of the TARDIS that took effect when a potentially dangerous time anomaly was detected . By default it moved the TARDIS forward " an hour or two " . In this sense , it served the same purpose temporally as the HADS did spatially . This failsafe took effect when the Fifth Doctor ' s TARDIS was sent back in time by an ergostorm . The name " time anomaly relocation distributor " was a bit of a mouthful , but unfortunately it couldn ' t be shortened to its obvious acronym , " TARDIS " , as that would be apt to cause confusion .

Eleventh Doctor ( Ganger ) A Ganger of the Eleventh Doctor was accidentally created during a solar storm in the 22nd century after he left a DNA imprint in the Flesh . It took the form of his eleventh incarnation after having some trouble with residual traces of his other previous lives . He sacrificed himself to allow his counterpart to leave with the survivors while he and a fellow Ganger destabilised themselves to stop an insane Ganger . The only thing remaining of him is the shoes he swapped with the Doctor . Biography . When a bolt of solar energy struck the vat the Flesh was held in , it formed a copy of the Eleventh Doctor from a tiny measure of his genetic material , gained when he touched the Flesh . When the Doctor returned to complete his scanning of the Flesh , this Ganger ' s lips formed in the vat , saying " Trust me " in a distorted voice . He tried to make contact with Jennifer Lucas , but scared her away as he had not yet stabilised his form . When the humans and the real Doctor fled from the other Gangers into the chapel , this Ganger confronted them and told them to trust him . ( TV : " The Rebel Flesh " ) At first , the Ganger had some trouble adapting to the Doctor ' s DNA due to the residual traces of his previous incarnations in his body . These caused him to briefly act like his first , third , fourth , and tenth incarnations , which he , like the real Doctor , did not like . He stabilised into a form and manner virtually identical to the Eleventh Doctor ' s ; the only way to distinguish them was their difference in shoes , as the original Doctor had replaced his after the initial scan . The two Doctors subsequently swapped shoes while their companions were distracted in order to prove that Gangers were no different from their originals . Posing as his original , Ganger Doctor tried to get Amy to see there was nothing different about them . Just like the Eleventh Doctor , he knew Amy was a Ganger herself , but kept quiet . The Ganger Doctor sacrificed himself and Ganger Miranda to stop Ganger Jennifer , setting the sonic screwdriver to a frequency that would cause the Flesh to collapse , in full knowledge that this would destroy him too , so that the others would be encouraged to negotiate better conditions for the Gangers . ( TV : " The Almost People " ) Personality . He and the original Doctor completed each other ' s sentences and knew each other ' s mind , as shown by their cooperating on a plan for one to replace another . This version of the Doctor also seemed to share the original ' s beliefs and values , as evidenced by his self - sacrifice . ( TV : " The Rebel Flesh / The Almost People " )

Ship ( Set Piece ) Ship was a sentient spacecraft . In the far future , an Earth colony on the edge of the galaxy faced destruction . The colonists made an organic computer to store their mind s , since their bodies were dying . They built a spacecraft to take the minds to a safer place . Some colonists refused to undergo the process . However , the computer decided that all the colonists must be saved , so it sent the Ants to gather the recalcitrant and add their minds to the gestalt . After escaping , Ship fell through one of the space - time rift s created by Kadiatu Lethbridge - Stewart ' s primitive time machine . It was damaged , causing it to equate any sentient being with the original colonists , sending the Ants to gather and assimilate any that they encountered . Eventually , if Ship learned how to stabilise the rifts , it would make more and try to upload minds anywhere in space and time . The creation of so many rifts would cause irreparable damage to much of the universe . Kadiatu tried to destroy Ship by giving it a computer virus , but it was able to counteract that attack . The Seventh Doctor then rigged Kadiatu ' s time vessel to implode when it was moved , hoping the Ants would take it back to Ship . Unfortunately , Monsieur Thierry moved it first and he was killed by the implosion . Ship then captured the Doctor and " installed " him so it could access his mind directly and time travel as it wished . This was part of his plan , though , to trick Ship into allowing him direct access to its nervous system . Once connected , he turned off the computer , killing it . ( PROSE : " Set Piece " )
