'''Basic''' was a scale that measured [[telepathy|telepathic]] fields. [[Ood]] who had had their hind-[[brain]]s removed registered Basic 5 as a norm. If this fell to Basic 0, it caused a 'Brainstorm' in Ood and made them collapse. [[Danny Bartock | '''Basic''' was a scale that measured [[telepathy|telepathic]] fields. [[Ood]] who had had their hind-[[brain]]s removed registered Basic 5 as a norm. When [[the Beast]] first made telepathic contact with the Ood in the [[Walker Expedition]] on [[Sanctuary Base 6]], it rose to Basic 30, which meant that they were shouting, screaming inside their heads. But [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] realised that someone was shouting at them. When the Ood attacked the [[human]]s on the base, they were at Basic 100, which meant they should have been braindead. If this fell to Basic 0, it caused a 'Brainstorm' in Ood and made them collapse. [[Danny Bartock]], used this to disable the Ood by broadcasting it through a telepathic flare.
