At some point after the 32nd century, a ship of Arucha arrived at the Paloma Centre, tracking the Eleventh Doctor's ship and planning to steal whatever he was looking for. The Doctor tried to avoid them, hiding in the Blue Room and then sending the android copies of the artists to attack them. Eventually, he was able to convince them that he was looking for The Physical Impossibility of Getting a Shanghorn into a Glass Tank and that it was a weapon. The Arucha stole it and escaped, but only found out it was simply art two years later. (PROSE: The War of Art [+]Loading...["The War of Art (DW short story)"])
