However, Gallifrey would nevertheless fall in a war against an implacable enemy, who would be unknown until [[Last Contact]] was made.

The [[Lord President|president]] and members of the [[High Council|Supreme Council]] knew this prophecy, but they kept it hidden, fearing that Gallifrey would fall into chaos if it was widely known. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]]'') The council was split on whether to tell [[the Matrix]] to look for threats matching the description, since such action might inevitably lead to contact and conflict with the enemy. Deliberation on the topic took several millennia.

When [[Padrac]] became Lord President and gained access to [[the Matrix]], he saw that in every projection of [[Gallifrey]]'s future, the Time Lords were destroyed by war, attrition, or collateral damage in the battles of other species. The only scenario in which Gallifrey survived was the one where the Time Lords were the only race in the universe. To achieve this, [[Padrac]] founded the [[Doom Coalition]], who planned to use the [[Crucible of Souls]] to convert all the universe's energy into regeneration energy, making the Time Lords immortal while destroying the universe.

At date index [[309456/4756.7RE/1213GRT/100447TL]], the Matrix projected that the [[Vore]] were a potential candidate for [[Last Contact]], and a conflict with Gallifrey would result in fatalities of 20-40% of the Time Lord population. As a result, the Supreme Council mandated that no Time Lord was to engage the Vore or come within one [[parsec]] or one century of any of their moons. [[Marnal]] said that the [[Klade]], the [[Tractite]]s, [[the Ongoing]], and [[Centro]] all had the power to destroy Gallifrey, but none of them would dare. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]]'') [[The Doctor (The Infinity Doctors)|The Doctor]] speculated that those same groups were responsible for [[the Effect]], along with the [[Nibblepibblies]].

In [[2002]], [[Sam Jones]] told [[Griffin]] about a Gallifreyan prophecy concerning a hybrid.

He went on to say, "The Hybrid is me." [[Ashildr]] suggested that the Doctor was the Hybrid because he was half-human.

[[Greyjan the Sane]] was the shortest-reigning [[Lord | [[Greyjan the Sane]] was the shortest-reigning [[Lord President]] of [[Gallifrey]]. Before becoming President, he researched the patterns of [[time]]. He believed that a law like [[chaos theory]] governed [[paradox]]. This research led him to foresee [[the War]], and he invented a plan for creating [[Nine Gallifreys|backup Gallifreys]]. He was publicly perceived as a prophet of doom. | ||
He also researched the origins of [[life]]. Observing the common physical and chemical characteristics of all life, he theorized all living things in the [[universe]] were descended from a single "ancestor cell". However, before that cell, other organisms existed with exotic and alien biochemical systems, and by feeding off [[TARDIS]] pollution and the energies of temporal paradox, these cells would be able to grow into life that was impossible for the Time Lords to fathom and utterly inimical to their existence, which would eventually destroy Gallifrey. This theory drove him to suicide after only three years in office. | He also researched the origins of [[life]].
