Swarm and Azure sought to give the Doctor as a sacrifice to their "saviour", [[Time (Set Piece)|Time]], an [[Eternal]] and the embodiment of time worshipped by the Ravagers. Time, who had been imprisoned in the Temple of Atropos since the Mouri were instated, manifested from active particles of the Time Force to scorn the Ravagers for their failure in freeing Time from Atropos, and to inform them that the final Flux event they had launched from the Division's base had been thwarted.

== Behind the scenes == | |||
The Temple of Atropos is named for {{w|Atropos}}, a figure from [[Greek mythology]]. She is one of the {{w|Moirai}}, or Fates, who are involved with the thread of life. As one of the Three Fates, Atropos ends the life of mortals by cutting the threads, while {{w|Clotho}} spins the thread, and {{w|Lachesis}} measures it. | |||
Borrowing from this mythology, the Temple of Atropos is a mechanism for the thread of ''[[time]]'', and [[Time (Set Piece)|Time]] herself is analogous to Atropos in the original mythology: a figure involved with [[death]] through the passage of [[time]]. | |||
