Artron energy: Difference between revisions

The first use of the phrase "artron energy" in the [[BBC Wales]] production era of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and its spin off TV series was in the 2007 ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' TV story ''[[Invasion of the Bane (TV story)|Invasion of the Bane]]'', in which Mrs [[Wormwood (Invasion of the Bane)|Wormwood]] identifies it as background radiation and "The result of travels through the [[space-time vortex]]." Though not directly referred to as artron energy, the 2006 ''Doctor Who'' TV story ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'' has [[Rose Tyler]] mention the Daleks evolved during the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]] to use an undisclosed background radiation—which is soaked up "when you travel in time in the TARDIS"—as a power supply. She linked it to why the Dalek "[[Metaltron]]" that appeared in the 2005 ''Doctor Who'' TV story ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'' healed itself when Rose—a time traveller—touched its casing. Within ''Dalek'' itself, the Metaltron simply said that "Extrapolating the biomass of a time traveller [referring to Rose] regenerated me," with little further clarification.
