[[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]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') Finding Jack in the TARDIS struggling with the device, [[River Song]] called it a rift extrapolator, and helped him reconfigure it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[R&J (audio story)|R&J]]'') | [[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]]. Jack was curious to know where Blon had gotten her hands on it, knowing that the technology was far beyond what her people were capable of. ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') Finding Jack in the TARDIS struggling with the device, [[River Song]] called it a rift extrapolator, and helped him reconfigure it. River fully charged the TARDIS, and the two shared a kiss before an [[earthquake]] interrupted. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[R&J (audio story)|R&J]]'') | ||
This was the [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift]] opening up. Knowing that anyone who would arrest her would have confiscated the extrapolator, Blon had programmed the board to connect the nearest [[alien]] power source — in this instance, the TARDIS — to open the Rift. The strain of pulling the ship apart opened the [[Heart of the TARDIS]] and regressed Blon to an egg. The extrapolator remained connected to TARDIS systems. Jack was curious where Blon got hold of the extrapolator, noting it was far beyond the capabilities of [[Raxacoricofallapatorian|her race]] to develop, and commented "it must have been a big heist." ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') | |||
The extrapolator was later used by the Ninth Doctor and Jack Harkness to create a [[extrapolator force field|force field]] around the TARDIS to protect it from the [[Dalek]]s' missiles. It was again used to shield the upper floors of the [[Satellite Five|Game Station]] from the Daleks' [[transmat]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'') | |||
By the time the [[Tenth Doctor]] used it to move the TARDIS two hundred feet away from the [[Empress of the Racnoss (The Runaway Bride)|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 (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'') Later, the extrapolator's shielding was still in use by the Doctor, but it was powerless against a [[New Dalek Empire|fully-formed Dalek empire]] capable of taking planets out of orbit.
