An H₂O scoop was a method of transportation over long distances, probably about one million miles in twenty seconds, used by the Judoon to transport locations from planets they had no jurisdiction (such as the Earth) over to neutral areas, such as uninhabited moons, (TV: Smith and Jones) planets, (AUDIO: Judoon in Chains) and deserts. (PROSE: Revenge of the Judoon)
Process[[edit]]
The H₂O scoop process would start with plasma coils being placed around the location which was to be transported (which would cause an unusual static build-up in the area). A few days later a raincloud would form over the location, but nowhere else (Tish Jones pointed out that it was like a cartoon where there was a rain cloud over somebody's head). A short thunderstorm would follow, which ended when the rain from the storm rose back into the cloud. After a short period and a flash of light, the location would be transported.
If the destination did not have a life-sustaining atmosphere, a force field would be placed around the location to keep the inhabitants alive. (TV: Smith and Jones)
In the 2000s,[nb 1] the Judoon used an H₂O scoop to teleport Royal Hope Hospital to the Moon when they were hunting for the killer of the Child Princess of Padrivole Regency 9. Following her execution and the Judoon's subsequent withdrawal, the hospital was returned to its rightful place. Despite air running low and the Judoon having left an amplified MRI running, there were no further casualties. (TV: Smith and Jones) This incident similarly occurred in the parallel world created where Donna Noble never met the Doctor, except the lack of air resulted in only Oliver Morgenstern surviving this incident, and Sarah Jane Smith also died after having deactivated the MRI. (TV: Turn Left)
The Judoon also used an H₂O scoop to teleport Balmoral Castle into a desert. (PROSE: Revenge of the Judoon)
Footnotes[[edit]]
- ↑ According to the episode The Sound of Drums, Martha Jones' present day during series 3 of Doctor Who takes place over a six-day period, with the Saxon Master being elected three days after Smith and Jones, and the Toclafane invading Earth five days after Smith and Jones. However, sources differ on which dates these stories are set. According to PROSE: The Paradox Moon, the Toclafane invasion happens on 23 June 2007, placing the events of Smith and Jones on 18 June. According to AUDIO: Hysteria, Smith and Jones takes place in 2008, with a UNIT mission log in AUDIO: Recruits referring to the recovery of moon rocks from Royal Hope Hospital in March 2008. A newspaper clipping in PROSE: The Secret Lives of Monsters places Smith and Jones on a Sunday 4 June, thus placing the Toclafane invasion on Friday 9 June. In the real world, these dates do not fall on a Sunday and Friday in either 2007 or 2008.
