:::: 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]]. | :::: 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. | :::: 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 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".

:::: …And yes, of ''course'' sources will contradict each other. I'm well aware of that. I just, as a fan, enjoy the challenge of fitting it all together, and was musing about that as a self-declared tangent. (To my headcanon, for example, there is no reason the Underworld from that short story couldn't be yet another mind-upload-based hologram — of which there are many overlapping versions because many philanthropists, and a few villains, have had the same idea over time and the means to implement it.)--[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:30, August 12, 2018 (UTC) | |||
