A '''dematerialisation circuit''' was an essential part of a [[TARDIS]] which enabled it to dematerialise from normal space into the [[Time Vortex]] and rematerialise back from it. The Doctor's [[Type 40]] [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] used a Mark I model dematerialisation circuit, while [[the Master's TARDIS]] used a Mark II. ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Autons (TV story)|Terror of the Autons]]'') | A '''dematerialisation circuit''', sometimes shortened to '''demat circuit''', ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Beginning (audio story)|The Beginning]]'') was an essential part of a [[TARDIS]] which enabled it to dematerialise from normal space into the [[Time Vortex]] and rematerialise back from it. The Doctor's [[Type 40]] [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] used a Mark I model dematerialisation circuit, while [[the Master's first TARDIS]] used a Mark II. ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Autons (TV story)|Terror of the Autons]]'') According to the [[Second Doctor]], overloading the circuit was supposed to be impossible, making it difficult to repair when it was damaged. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Daughter of the Gods (audio story)|Daughter of the Gods]]'') | ||
On his first trip in the TARDIS, the [[First Doctor]] removed the circuit from his TARDIS and kept it on his person while he and [[Susan Foreman|Susan]] went out exploring, ensuring [[Stoyn]] couldn't use the ship to return to [[Gallifrey]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Beginning (audio story)|The Beginning]]'') | |||
When the First and [[Second Doctor]]'s TARDISes [[Temporal collision|collided]], both dematerialisation circuits burned out and they became stranded on [[Urbinia]]. The First Doctor constructed a new one during his three-[[month]] stay. He gave it to the Second Doctor so the latter could use it to [[Fast return switch|avert]] the creation of their [[Alternate timeline|present timeline]] in which the [[Dalek]]s [[Harvest of Urbinia|attacked]] the [[planet]].

When [[TARDIS (Prisoners of Fate)|the Doctor's first TARDIS]] escaped Gallifrey and crash-landed on [[Valderon (planet)|Valderon]], its dematerialisation circuit was one of many circuits destroyed in the attempt. The [[Type 50]] stole the Doctor's Type 40's dematerialisation circuit as a temporary replacement, instantly condemning it for being unreliable and almost burnt out. The dematerialisation circuit was later returned when the Type 50 was dying.

The dematerialisation circuit of [[the Master's TARDIS]] was destroyed as a result of {{Simm}}'s attempt to escape a [[Mondasian]] [[Colony ship (World Enough and Time)|colony ship]] which was being pulled into a [[black hole]]. Ultimately, the Master would come across his future incarnation, | During the [[Last Great Time War]], the [[Time Lord]]s deduced that the [[Dalek]]s had derived their [[time technology]] from their own and so their [[technical division]] postulated that it may be possible to retroactively insert a "[[Trojan Horse]]" program into dematerialisation circuits at a [[time period]] prior to the Daleks' acquisition of the technology, thus giving the Time Lords a shut-down option that would deprive the Daleks of [[time travel]] capability. Whilst the [[War Council]] agreed that it would be an effective defense, the possibility was recognised that the Daleks could discover such a program and potentially use it against the Time Lords. A [[subcommittee]] looked into the ramifications of this course of action and was to report back once its findings had been analysed.

The dematerialisation circuit of [[The Master's TARDIS (Death in Heaven)|the Master's TARDIS]] was destroyed as a result of {{Simm}}'s attempt to escape a [[Mondasian]] [[Colony ship (World Enough and Time)|colony ship]] which was being pulled into a [[black hole]]. Ultimately, the Master would come across his future incarnation, [[Missy]], who provided him with a spare dematerialisation circuit which she had remembered to keep on hand as a result of their encounter.
