The ''' | The '''tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator''' — or '''extrapolator''' to "save time" — was a long, flat device. It could be ridden like a [[surfboard]]. It would wrap the user in a [[force field|protective bubble]], enabling them to ride the energy from a vast explosion. | ||

[[Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen|Blon Slitheen]] intended to use this to escape early [[21st century]] [[Cardiff]], blowing up [[Earth]] and riding away on the subsequent shockwave of energy.

After they realised her plan and captured her, the [[Ninth Doctor]] and [[Jack Harkness]] confiscated it and connected it to augment the recharging of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]]. Jack was curious to know where Blon had gotten her hands on it, knowing that the technology was far beyond what her people were capable of. ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') Finding Jack in the TARDIS struggling with the device, [[River Song]] called it a rift extrapolator, and helped him reconfigure it. River fully charged the TARDIS, and the two shared a kiss before an [[earthquake]] interrupted. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[R&J (audio story)|R&J]]'') | ||
This was the [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift]] opening up. Knowing that anyone who would arrest her would have confiscated the extrapolator, Blon had programmed the board to connect the nearest [[alien]] power source — in this instance, the TARDIS — to open the Rift. The strain of pulling the ship apart opened the [[Heart of the TARDIS]] and regressed Blon to an egg. The extrapolator remained connected to TARDIS systems. ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') | |||
The extrapolator was later used by the Ninth Doctor and Jack Harkness to create a [[extrapolator force field|force field]] around the TARDIS to protect it from the [[Dalek]]s' missiles. It was again used to shield the upper floors of the [[Satellite Five|Game Station]] from the Daleks' [[transmat]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'') | |||
By the time the [[Tenth Doctor]] used it to move the TARDIS two hundred feet away from the [[Empress of the Racnoss (The Runaway Bride)|Empress of the Racnoss]], it appeared to have been integrated into the TARDIS systems. It was connected by a line and wrapped in [[TARDIS coral]]. The Doctor encouraged operation with percussive maintenance. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'') Later, the extrapolator's shielding was still in use by the Doctor, but it was powerless against a [[New Dalek Empire|fully-formed Dalek empire]] capable of taking planets out of orbit.
