''[[The Dalek Conquests]]'' put forward that this incident was the "first [[skirmish]]" of the [[Last Great Time War]] between the [[Time Lord]]s and the [[Dalek]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Dalek Conquests (audio story)|The Dalek Conquests]]'') This incident, among others, was tactically assessed by the Time War-era Time Lords, who learnt that Dalek time capsule technology was more sophisticated than first thought; not only were they capable of precise navigational control, but they also seemed to be able to track our [[Gallifreyan]] time capsules with ease. The Time Lords lamented Ian and Barbara's destruction of the Dalek time machine, which deprived them of an opportunity to study Dalek time technology. [[Technical team]]s were dispatched to look for ways to block the [[temporal signature]] of all operational TT capsules in order to prevent the Daleks from tracking them. The Time Lords also identified the Mechanoids as an effective example of anti-Dalek weaponry, noting that reprogrammed Mechanoids could provide an excellent line of defense against Dalek attacks.
