Finders Keepers (comic story)

Young student Schef is ridiculed when he opens up his compression-sack and presents the TARDIS to his fellow students as part of a class show-and-tell. While he is in detention, the school is invaded by a party of cyborg soldiers (Yeamorg Warriors). The Warriors have been hunting the Eleventh Doctor by following sightings of the TARDIS across the planet.

While the Warriors wait for the Doctor to emerge from the TARDIS, the Doctor gets Scheff's attention. He explains that the TARDIS' HADS settings have let him distract the Warriors with a number of short trips while Amy Pond and Rory Williams disarmed their warship that has been carrying its supplies. All the while, the Doctor has been busy making a gadget to use against the Warriors.

Having adapted parts of the subliminal education enhancers, the Doctor fires a stream of background data at the Warriors, overloading their brains rendering them unconscious for a few days. Plenty of time for Schef and his teacher to get them removed by the galactic law enforcement authorities under Article 57 of the Shadow Proclamation.

Continuity

The TARDIS HADS is mentioned. When the outer shell of the TARDIS came under attack, the unit dematerialised the TARDIS and rematerialised it a short distance away, in a safer locale. The defence system was first used in TV: The Krotons.
The Yeamorg Warriors actions were in breach of Article 57 of the Shadow Proclamation. Article 57 prohibited the destruction of a Level 5 World if no law was broken. (TV: The Eleventh Hour)
