(Created page with "'''Rho waves''', also called '''rho patterns''' (GAME: {{cs|The Legions of Death (game)|namedpart=Player's Handout}}) or '''rho fields''', (GAME: {{cs|The Legions of Death (game)|namedpart=General Adventure Procedures}}) were waves "intangible mental signals unique to all living and semi-living things". Analysis and processing of a thinking being's rho waves could allow for modifications, enabling induced hallucinations, personality changes, and hypnotic control....") |

The [[Time Lord]]s discovered | The [[Time Lord]]s discovered rho waves "in connection with experiments in [[telepathy]] and [[hypnosis]]", soon discovering that rho waves could disrupt [[TARDIS]]es and thus strongly cautioning careless Time Lords against the use of rho wave projectors. However, a less invasive for of the technology was incorporated into the design of the [[Model 65]] [[TARDIS]]es' infamous [[SID system|SID]] security system, which scanned personnel's "characteristic rho patterns" along with their [[retina]]l prints to compare them to "an 'approved entrance' file".

The [[Hypnosis|hypnotic]] [[processing machine]]s used by the [[War Lord]]s in the [[War Games]]s ([[TV]]: {{cs|The War Games (TV story)}}) manipulated "rho patterns in the subject's [[brain]]", rendering them "extremely susceptible to suggestion, perceiving [their] surroundings as [they] were ordered to do". However, after processing, there was a distinct chance that the programming would wear off over time. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|The Legions of Death (game)|namedpart=Player's Handout}}) After the [[Second Doctor]] alerted the Time Lords to the War Games plot, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The War Games (TV story)}}) Time Lord scientists studied the machines; they theorised that the machines' efficacy could be improved if complemented by "a device that would support initial processing with continued rho wave transmissions to constantly reinforce the original effects". | The [[Hypnosis|hypnotic]] [[processing machine]]s used by the [[War Lord]]s in the [[War Games]]s ([[TV]]: {{cs|The War Games (TV story)}}) manipulated "rho patterns in the subject's [[brain]]", rendering them "extremely susceptible to suggestion, perceiving [their] surroundings as [they] were ordered to do".
