([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') He disappeared from the Time Lords’ observation, however they inferred that his intent was to destroy Daleks and Time Lords alike.

As the Daleks approached the [[Capitol]], hundreds of Time Lords recorded their cherished memories into [[Memory lantern|memory lanterns]] and set them adrift in the Time Vortex.

The Doctor took the Moment to a [[Barn (The Day of the Doctor)|barn]] in Gallifrey's [[drylands]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') intending to activate it far from the sight of his TARDIS. The Moment arranged for a meeting with two future incarnations, the Tenth Doctor and [[Eleventh Doctor]]. After an adventure on which they negotiated peace between [[Unified Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] and the [[Zygon]]s, the three prepared to detonate Gallifrey together, making sure the War Doctor did not need to bear the responsibility alone. However after the Eleventh Doctor’s companion, [[Clara Oswald]], objected they reconsidered and ultimately decided against it. Inspired by the [[Stasis cube|stasis cubes]] that the Zygons had been using a suspended animation, the Eleventh Doctor came up with an alternative to the joy of his other selves. | The Doctor took the Moment to a [[Barn (The Day of the Doctor)|barn]] in Gallifrey's [[drylands]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') intending to activate it far from the sight of his TARDIS.

Working with ten other incarnations, the Doctors used their TARDISes to place Gallifrey in a [[Gallifrey's pocket universe|pocket universe]]. They contacted the [[War Council]] beforehand and received [[The General|the General‘s]] reluctant approval for the plan. The Dalek fleet, which was still surrounding the planet and firing on it at a constant rate, intensified the bombardment in response to the Doctors’ activity. It was left suddenly firing on itself when Gallifrey disappeared, nearly destroying the entire Dalek race. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') The result was, in the Emperor’s words, an “inferno”.
