 Looking into what they believed to be mere possibilities for the Doctor's future via [[the Matrix]], the Time War-era Time Lords watched some of these events, along with other post-War events involving the Daleks. Electing to treat post-War information as confidential, the data gleamed from these "future projections" was reserved for the eyes of section leaders only. As was noted in the [[Dalek Combat Training Manual]] edition that included these projections, some information about the post-War universe, such as data about the end of the Time War, was redacted from their security level as well.

 Though there was now silence on what had been the war front, those in the universe who knew of the War were left unsure of how the conflict had ended. One account claimed the only certainty about its end was that the Doctor alone had walked away from the wreckage of Skaro and Gallifrey, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Meet the Doctor (DWAN 2006 short story)|Meet the Doctor]]'') but others thought that all of the Time Lords were destroyed.

One demonstration of this was when Rose created a [[temporal paradox]] by saving her father, [[Peter Tyler|Pete]], just before his death in a traffic accident. This summoned the [[Reaper]]s, who descended to sterilise the "wound" in time by devouring everything in sight. The Ninth Doctor said that if the Time Lords had been still around, they could have held back the Reapers and prevented or repaired the paradox. ([[TV]]: ''[[Father's Day (TV story)|Father's Day]]'')

 The [[Encyclopedia Gallifreya]] dealt with the Time Lords now not existing by changing its settings so that all surviving Encyclopaedias auto-updated, each constantly encoding data from their owner and linking with others of their kind. Some Time Lords (who did things like taking over the universe) complained about this causing issues with privacy; the Doctor had forgotten their Encyclopaedia and thus was not really affected. If he had checked with his Encyclopaedia, he would have realised that he was not the only Time Lord left. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Citation Needed (short story)|Citation Needed]]'')

He sought to teach the Dalek creator that words like "Christmas," or even a word that Darvos related to like "father," could have many meanings across cultures, while "Dalek" would only ever relate to the hatred present within the mutants, only for Davros to reject his offers to change the Dalek species and accept that the exterminators would never see him as a father. After the Doctor helped [[Krillitane]] rebels on [[Gryphon's Reach]] work out a form of cloaking technology, which helped the rebels to beat back a Dalek invasion overseen by Davros, the creator met with him for another Christmas on [[Alacracis IV]], where the Doctor admitted he was scared of what their future clashes would lead to.

It told them it had encountered a surviving Time Lord, to the surprise of the Daleks who now believed none had survived the Time War. To lure the survivor out, the Supreme led an [[Dalek invasion of Medrüth|invasion of Medrüth]], accompanied by the Eternal and a Strategist. The gambit succeeded; luring the Doctor back to Medrüth. He was captured and interrogated on if he was the only surviving Time Lord, but refused to give any information so the Scientist connected him to the Yearn in hopes of it attacking his mind to provide data. This led to the Doctor striking a deal with the Yearn instead for it to consume the Dalek Pathweb, immobilising the invaders. The effect proved short-lived as the Daleks reasserted their collective identity over the Yearn and regained control of themselves in time to destroy a fleeing freighter carrying Medrüthian refugees.
+Taking this victory as proof the Daleks were truly unstoppable, though the Doctor had escaped, the Prime Minister ordered the Dalek Empire begin a new invasion of the universe. Numerous worlds were immediately targeted by the Daleks across the galaxy, which the Doctor feared was the start of a new war. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Daleks Victorious (audio story)|Daleks Victorious]]'')
+The Doctor transported the invading Daleks into an [[Arkheon device]] and tricked them into conquering the pocket universe it generated. The device was then infected with the [[Darinthian Blight]] by [[Valarie Lockwood]]. As the contents of the device were it’s currency, which the Daleks owned in its entirety, the Blight killed the Daleks. The Doctor expected that there would be survivors however.

 The Time War-era Time Lords continued to follow the Doctor's encounters with the Daleks following their thirteenth regeneration. The Twelfth Doctor's [[Good Dalek Incident|encounter]] with [[Rusty (Into the Dalek)|Rusty]] fascinated the Time Lords, who realised that a Dalek could be "conditioned" to turn against their own kind. Making note of the Doctor's mental contact with Rusty, the [[psi division]] investigated the possibility of creating other such Daleks.
 Learning that the Doctor had [[Hybrid Incident|tried to demonstrate mercy]] to a young Davros, the Time Lords saw that he had shown some way of circumnavigating the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]], allowing him to return to an exact space-time event multiple times and influencing the outcome of that event. Investigations were undertaken as to how the Doctor was able to achieve this, and discussions took place at [[High Council]] level to determine whether they constituted a breach of the [[First Law of Time]]. The Time Lords believed that the Doctor had failed in his mission, as they could find no evidence that any Daleks in their current relative time zone had any understanding of mercy. They also saw that, at the end of his life, the Doctor met with Rusty again in order to access the [[Pathweb]] in the midst of an encounter with the [[First Doctor]] immediately preceding their respective [[regeneration]]s.
-The Time Lords saw the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]'s encounters with the [[Reconnaissance Dalek]], who was initially [[Battle of Hope Valley|defeated]] upon arriving on Earth in the [[9th century]], [[Recon Scout Incident|reconstructed]] itself in the [[21st century]] and ultimately [[2021 Dalek civil war|created]] a "[[Defence Drone|new strain]]" of Dalek. Realising that the [[reconnaissance scout]]s boasted considerably more abilities than standard Dalek drones, the Time Lords were amazed that primitive humans were able to defeat such a Dalek but were nonetheless wary of encountering one in wartime. It also came to their concern that the Dalek was able to create a new army without the advanced skills of the [[Cult of Skaro]], [[Dalek Emperor in the Last Great Time War|the Emperor]] or Davros, and so research was undertaken into the genetic make-up of Reconnaissance Daleks to further understand the extent of their abilities.

 However, as noted by [[Ohila]], the Time War would remain "the deadliest conflict history will ever know". Her remark was published in a [[Book (The Day of the Doctor)|book]] by [[the Curator]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') who, being a future incarnation of the Doctor, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Then and the Now (comic story)|The Then and the Now]]'') had lived through the Flux conflict already. Nevertheless, the Sontarans' hope led the [[warrior race]] to embark on a [[Temporal Offensive]] ([[TV]]: ''[[War of the Sontarans (TV story)|War of the Sontarans]]'') and the [[Flux Offensive]].
-The Doctor succeeded in saving the universe from the Flux, though not before it destroyed the assembled [[Dalek War Fleet]] as well as the [[Cyber-Fleet]] and the Sontaran [[fleet]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Vanquishers (TV story)|The Vanquishers]]'') with [[Dalek Command]] holding the Doctor responsible for their losses.
