The [[Twelfth Doctor]] was electrocuted by a [[Cyberman]] while escaping [[Floor 1056]] of the [[Colony ship (World Enough and Time)|Mondasian colony ship]]. After making it to [[Floor 0507]], the Doctor recuperated for two weeks, and his body began slowly dying, with [[Regeneration energy]] leaking from his hand at one point. The Doctor delayed the process, tired of "being someone else". During the subsequent [[Battle of Floor 0507|battle]] against the Cybermen, the Doctor was gravely wounded by the Cybermen, being shot several times. When the [[regeneration|regenerative process]] began, the Doctor elected to ignite the Floor, accepting his fate and that he had had "time enough". | |||
The Doctor's body was taken to his TARDIS by [[Bill Potts|Bill]] and [[Heather (The Pilot)|Heather]], and the regenerative process restarted. The Doctor still refused to accept the process ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Falls (TV story)}}) until an encounter with [[First Doctor|his first incarnation]], [[Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart]] and the [[Testimony]] caused him to concede that another regeneration would not "kill anyone". After taking a final look at the universe and providing advice to his next incarnation, the Twelfth Doctor regenerated inside [[the Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] in an explosive fashion.

As recorded in the [[TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual]], the destructive nature of the Twelfth Doctor's regeneration compared to the [[First Doctor's regeneration]] was acknowledged by the [[Time Lord]]s, leading to an [[investigation]] by the [[Black Hole Shipyards]].
