Controller (Bad Wolf): Difference between revisions

Blind and connected to [[Satellite Five]] feeds at the age of five by dozens of cables, '''the Fat Controller''' acted as the eyes and ears of the [[Dalek]]s. Aided by programmers, she constantly monitored the transmissions that flowed through her. ([[TV]]: ''[[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]]'') Essentially, she served a function similar to [[the Editor]]'s for the [[Jagrafess]] a century before, who also had occupied [[Floor 500]] of the satellite, though the Controller had less say over her actions. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Long Game]]'')

Nevertheless, the Fat Controller loathed and plotted against the Daleks, ensuring that the Doctor and his companions would appear in game shows on Satellite Five (now called the Game Station), which the Daleks ignored. She waited until a rare [[solar flare]] temporarily disrupted communications between the Dalek fleet and her.  

The Daleks could not monitor her thoughts, letting her warn the [[Ninth Doctor]] of the enemy "waiting in the dark". She then passed on to him the co-ordinates of [[Rose Tyler]],enabling him to rescue her, though she did not at that point reveal to the Doctor and his allies the identity of her "masters".
