The '''Tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator''' (or '''Extrapolator''' to save time) was a long, flat device. It could be ridden like a [[surfboard]]. It would wrap the user in a [[force field|protective bubble]], enabling them to ride the energy from a vast explosion. | The '''Tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator''' (or '''Extrapolator''' to save time) was a long, flat device.

[[Tribophysics]] was the science of interacting surfaces in relative motion. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Damaged Goods (novel)|Damaged Goods]]'') | |||

[[Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen|Blon Slitheen]] intended to use this to escape early [[21st century]] [[Cardiff]], blowing up [[Earth]] and riding away on the subsequent shockwave of energy. After they realised her plan and captured her, the [[Ninth Doctor]] and [[Jack Harkness]] confiscated it and connected it to augment the recharging of [[The Doctor's TARDIS]]. Programming in the board caused the TARDIS to open the [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift]], but the [[TARDIS matrix]] itself intervened, opening the [[Heart of the TARDIS]] and regressing Blon to an egg. The extrapolator remained connected to TARDIS systems.

By the time the [[Tenth Doctor]] used it to move the TARDIS two hundred feet away from the [[Empress of the Racnoss]], it appeared to have been integrated into the TARDIS systems. It was connected by a line and wrapped in [[TARDIS coral]]. The Doctor encouraged operation with [[percussive maintenance]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'') Later, the extrapolator's shielding was still in use by the Doctor, but it was no defence against a [[New Dalek Empire|fully-formed Dalek empire]] capable of taking planets out of orbit.

Since the damage to the console room during the regeneration of the Tenth Doctor, it has not been mentioned or seen either as a separate piece or as a part of the [[TARDIS console]]. | |||
