Artron energy: Difference between revisions

[[File:Blueberry Flavour.jpg|right|thumb|[[Clyde Langer|Clyde]] and the [[Eleventh Doctor]] "body swap" by tapping into artron energy. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Death of the Doctor]]'')]]

Visually, artron energy resembled a sort of blue electricity. Artron energy seemed to have an odour detectable by some species, such as the [[Groske]]. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Death of the Doctor]]'') It was measured in [[atto-Omega]]s. ([[EDA]]: ''[[The Taking of Planet 5]]'')

Artron energy altered and enhanced [[human]] antibodies, making the immune system of the human in question better at fighting diseases. ([[TW]]: ''[[Reset (Torchwood story)|Reset]]'')

Nearby artron energy could be drained through use of an [[artron inhibitor]]. This would also prevent [[Time Lord]]s from [[Regeneration|regenerating]]. ([[EDA]]: ''[[The Banquo Legacy]]'')

Artron energy was apparently used as a source of energy in [[TARDIS]]es. The [[Fifth Doctor]] once claimed to [[Monarch]] that artron energy had a relationship to the functioning of [[the Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] (or vice versa), although he did not elaborate. ([[DW]]: ''[[Four to Doomsday]]'') Artron energy was rich and refined in TARDISes. ([[DW]]:'' [[The Doctor's Wife]]'')

Within the TARDIS' generator room was an [[Artron Energy Capacitor]]. ([[PDA]]: ''[[The Algebra of Ice]]'')

The materialisation of a TARDIS caused a massive displacement of artron energy. ([[NA]]: ''[[The Highest Science]]'') This would help the scanners. ([[VD]]: ''[[Housewarming]]'')

This energy was vital in the running of a TARDIS; it could run low ([[EDA]]: ''[[Option Lock]]'') and when down to 10% it would mean even backup power was unavailable, as this required artron energy ([[EDA]]: ''[[The Banquo Legacy]]'').

The [[Panjistri]] used artron energy to power their [[Teleportation|matter transporter]]. ([[NA]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Apocalypse]]'')

The [[Eighth Doctor]] had a habit of using it to make toast. ([[EDA]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'')

During the [[Last Great Time War]], the [[Dalek]]s evolved so they could use artron energy as a power source. A Dalek on the verge of death could be restored to operational status by the slightest touch from a time traveller. ([[DW]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'')

Artron energy was at low levels in [[human]]s but could be present at elevated levels in others. ([[EDA]]: ''[[The Banquo Legacy]]'')

Coupling the human mind to a source of high-voltage [[electricity]] could result in a massive release of artron energy. The [[Eighth Doctor]] once compared the relationship between Artron and normal energy to the movement in the depths of the sea and the waves on the surface. ([[EDA]]: ''[[The Banquo Legacy]]'')

Artron energy would be absorbed by travelling through time, such as by travellers in a TARDIS. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Invasion of the Bane]]'', ([[DW]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'', ([[TW]]: ''[[Reset (Torchwood story)|Reset]]'')

Even touching a TARDIS could cause the passage of artron energy. [[Clyde Langer]] absorbed some artron energy from the outside of the TARDIS as he was trying to enter it while it was trapped in a [[time loop]] made by [[the Trickster]]. He then used the energy to attack the Trickster, as he was time-sensitive. ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith]]'') [[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]] later keyed into Clyde's residual artron energy in order to make a biological swap. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Death of the Doctor]]'')

Time Lords also had a supply of artron energy, which was apparently used or needed for the their survival. A surge of artron energy could restore the synapses, curing [[amnesia]]. ([[PDA]]: ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]]'') Without artron energy, a Time Lord was unable to regenerate. ([[EDA]]: ''[[The Banquo Legacy]]'')

[[Engin]] noted the [[Fourth Doctor]] must have had great reserves of artron energy to survive near-fatal attacks on his person while in [[the Matrix]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin]]'')

The Fifth Doctor stated that Time Lords start off with a certain amount of artron energy saturating their bodies in each incarnation, with the energy accumulating over time; their energy count is 'reset' to a specific level after each regeneration to prevent the accumulative artron energy absorbed during their lives causing excessive damage ([[PDA]]: ''[[Empire of Death (novel)|Empire of Death]]'').  

Following his disrupted resurrection, [[The Master (Harold Saxon)|the Master]] was able to offensively use energy - presumably his own artron energy - to strike his enemies with debilitating energy blasts, at the cost of reducing his own life force. ([[DW]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')

According to [[The Master (Tremas)|the Master]], the [[Cheetah World]] had high levels of artron energy. ([[NA]]: ''[[First Frontier]]'')

The planet [[Kirith]], one of the few remaining planets in the [[far future]], had high levels of artron energy in its atmosphere. ([[NA]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Apocalypse]]'')

* When the TARDIS' [[Banshee Circuits]] were activated, it used the mental artron energy of the [[Time Scaphe]] crew to reconfigure itself into a multi-dimensional city reminiscent of those of ancient [[Gallifrey]]. ([[NA]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible]]'')

* The entity known as [[House]] fed on artron energy, the best and most refined source being TARDISes (The [[Eleventh Doctor]] compared it to preferring fish fingers over raw fish). To accomplish this he would lure wayward TARDISes into the "[[bubble universe]]" in which he resided to devour their energy supply. However he couldn't devour raw TARDIS energy as the deaths of the TARDIS consciousness would create a hole in the universe, so he would transfer the TARDIS mainframe into a [[human]] receptacle and devour the remaining artron energy. ([[DW]]:'' [[The Doctor's Wife]]'')

* The [[Khameirian]] [[Essence Chamber]] could drain artron energy from a TARDIS and use it power itself. ([[EDA]]: ''[[Option Lock]]'')

* The [[Third Doctor]] had an artron energy detector. ([[MA]]: ''[[The Eye of the Giant]]'')

* [[K9]] was capable of detecting artron energy. ([[EDA]]: ''[[Interference - Book One]]'')
