In an alternate timeline, a version of Sabbath was rescued by [[The Oracle]], which presented itself as a higher being seeking to protect reality. Under the Oracle's instructions, Sabbath travelled forward in time to hinder the development of the computer and other related technologies, reasoning that his actions prevented the deaths that would result from the existence of such technology. The Doctor observed that this Sabbath was essentially more of a lackey than the one he knew, as 'his' Sabbath had clear plans and followed specific instructions where this Sabbath just blindly followed orders towards a specific goal without any sign that he had considered making more long-term plans for after that goal had been achieved. | In an alternate timeline, a version of Sabbath was rescued by [[The Oracle]], which presented itself as a higher being seeking to protect reality.

This plan reached its peak when the Oracle instructed Sabbath to imprison [[Alan Turing]] in 1936, making his biggest blow against the creation of the computer. Sabbath believed that his actions were to turn Turing into a temporal nexus whose death would cut Sabbath's world off from the rest of the multiverse and protect it from the catastrophe that had been unintentionally set off by the "prime" Sabbath. The Doctor attempted to convince Sabbath that he was being manipulated, observing that he hadn't even thought about what would happen after his world was 'saved', but Sabbath killed Turing regardless, only to learn after Turing's death that he had just accelerated the multiversal damage. Fortunately, Sabbath's horror at witnessing the Oracle's true form distracted it long enough for the Doctor to retreat to the TARDIS before the Oracle could consume the Doctor, although Sabbath was torn apart as he begged it to help him.
