Quantum extraction
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Weeping Angel Extraction Squad engaged in quantum extraction. This involved isolating an area of space from its surroundings, removing it from both space and time. The Weeping Angels isolated Medderton in both 1901 and 1967 for the purposes of quantum extraction. (TV: Village of the Angels [+]Loading...["Village of the Angels (TV story)"])
