::: It is little wonder that different stories contradict each other. That's the nature of DWU. We even have a proof that afterlife exists. [[Katarina]] visits one version of it in ''[[Katarina in the Underworld (short story)|Katarina in the Underworld]]''. Alas, this does not imply that afterlife is universally built according to the ancient Greek myths. It's just one of the versions. Similarly, each new Nethersphere proves nothing about afterlife in general, other than DW writers feeling freedom to choose their favourite version of afterlife for each story separately.

:::: Hm… I don't know if I got anything literal for the [[Testimony]] — though I'd consider Testimony-[[Bill Potts|Bill]]'s insistance that she's the same being as the deceased Bill to be one such link, albeit implicit — but I'm sure there's something out there about the [[Matrix]]. | |||

::: I haven't the means to check the exact quotes, but when explaining what it is to Clara in ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'', doesn't the Doctor say something to the effect that it is the "Heaven and Hell of the Time Lords", home to "ghosts" and "guarded by more ghosts"? And again, there's the "Rassilon the Resurrected" business where restoring Rassilon from his Matrix back-up counts as a legendary resurrection. | |||

::: And it would legitimately surprise me if ''none'' of the novels and audiobooks involving the Matrix ever described it at something like "the afterlife of the Time Lords". I don't have any solid evidence of that, but I'd bet on it, and I'd further wager that someone more expanded-universe-savvy than me could dig it up. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:30, August 12, 2018 (UTC) | |||
