Time Lords usually had a limited cycle: twelve regenerations, consisting of thirteen [[incarnation]]s, after which they would suffer permanent death, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]'', ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]], [[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'') except insofar as their minds, uploaded to [[the Matrix]], lived on as [[Matrix Lord]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Legacy of Gallifrey (short story)|The Legacy of Gallifrey]]'') On occasions, [[the Doctor]] gave other numbers as the length of the basic Time Lord regeneration cycle. The Fourth Doctor told [[Romana II|Romana]] that Time Lords had [[90 (number)|ninety]] lives, and that he had already gone through "about [[130 (number)|130]]" of them; ([[TV]]: ''[[The Creature from the Pit (TV story)|The Creature from the Pit]]'') the [[Fifth Doctor]], while in a state of confusion, later claimed the same thing. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Cold Fusion (audio story)|Cold Fusion]]'') The [[Eleventh Doctor]] told [[Clyde Langer]] that he could regenerate [[507 (number)|507]] times.
