Telepathic contact

Telepathic contact was a Time Lord ability to form a telepathic link between multiple minds for high-speed conversations and decision-making. Contact could be established by different incarnations of the Doctor (TV: The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors) or two versions of the same incarnation from different points in time. (AUDIO: The Wrong Doctors) It could also be established between two different Time Lords (AUDIO: The Apocalypse Element, The Missing Link, Operation: Hellfire, TV: The End of Time, Spyfall, Fugitive of the Judoon, The Timeless Children) or three (AUDIO: Intervention Earth) as well as between a Time Lord and a human, (AUDIO: Love and War, TV: The Girl in the Fireplace, The Lodger, Village of the Angels) enabling one to erase the memories of another, (AUDIO: Afterlife, TV: Journey's End) or, with a sufficient boost, to locate them. (AUDIO: The Missing Link, TV: The Timeless Children)
Once contact was made, knowledge gained by one mind was immediately shared with the others. (AUDIO: The Light at the End) While this process had to be initiated by choice for more in-depth information, a casual mind-touch was considered a courtesy greeting on Gallifrey. Telepathic contact could also be used to switch bodies, a method used by two switched incarnations of the Master to return to their correct bodies. (AUDIO: The Two Masters)
