([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster]]'') To protect himself and [[Malady Chang]] from rifle fire shot at them by [[Jonah Cosgrove]], the [[Eighth Doctor]] demonstrated his reflexes by using a pistol to shoot the incoming bullets harmlessly out of the air. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Trading Futures (novel)|Trading Futures]]'') In the space of four nanoseconds, an incarnation of the Doctor moved fast enough to dodge shots fired at him by fifty invisible and indestructible android assassins, whilst devising a plan to use the energy from their attacks to charge a [[vortex manipulator]] and escape. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's' Familiar]]'') [[The Master#As Missy|Missy]] later utilised this tactic with [[Missy's vortex manipulator|her vortex manipulator]] to escape from the [[Cyber-conversion|cyber-converted]] [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier]] and several [[Dalek]]s, all whilst giving the impression that she was killed in the blasts.
